The Rebels are 4-0 in 2014 and will remain ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press Poll when it is updated Sunday afternoon. They’ll host Alabama next weekend, which is also 4-0 and should be ranked in the top 5 of the new AP Top 25 Sunday.
The game itself will be televised in CBS’ 3:30 PM ET time slot, called by Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson.
College GameDay will kick off from the Grove at 9 AM ET next Saturday.
