The 2008 Ole Miss Rebels football team will represent the University of Mississippi during the 2008 college football season. The team's Head Coach is Houston Nutt, who will begin his first season as the Rebels' head coach, replacing Ed Orgeron, who was fired after accumulating a 10-25 record (3-21 conference) at Ole Miss from 2005-2007. Ole Miss has been a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) since the league's inception in 1932, and has participated in that conference's Western Division since 1992. The Rebels will play their seven home games in 2008 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, which has been Ole Miss football's "home" stadium since 1915.

Individual game notes

*Vanderbilt: Ole Miss lost to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the final minute of the game as Vanderbilt's Chris Marve forced Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster to fumble the game winning touchdown at the goal line.
*Flordia: The Ole Miss Rebels posted its 600th win on September 27, 2008 when it defeated the Florida Gators 31-30 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Florida [ [http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080928/SPORTS030103/809280348 The Clarion-Ledger: No. 4 Gators undone by myriad mistakes] ] . This was also Ole Miss' first win over a Top 5 ranked team since 1977 when the Rebels defeated Notre Dame. Notre Dame went on to win the national championship that year.
