AUBURN, Alabama -- A potential top-5 matchup between Auburn and Ole Miss will kick off in prime time on Nov. 1.

For the second straight game, the exact kickoff time and network remains up in the air.

Auburn's trip to Oxford will kick off at either 6 p.m on ESPN or 6:15 p.m. on ESPN2, depending on whether or not ESPN picks the Auburn-Ole Miss game or the Arkansas-Mississippi State game.

No. 5 Auburn (5-1, 2-1 SEC) and an undefeated No. 3 Ole Miss (7-0, 3-0) are headed for a big-time showdown between a pair of friends in Tigers' coach Gus Malzahn and Rebels' coach Hugh Freeze.

Auburn takes on South Carolina at 6:30 p.m. on the SEC Network this Saturday, and the Rebels have to navigate a trip to Baton Rouge to take on LSU before ESPN will decide exactly when the two teams will kick off November in prime time.
