Wake Forest has canceled its 2025 football game at Ole Miss, opting instead for a home-and-home series with Oregon State. The decision came shortly after Ole Miss defeated Wake Forest 40-6, with Rebels coach Lane Kiffin expressing frustration over the cancellation, calling it a violation of an 'unwritten rule.' Wake Forest athletic director John Currie cited financial pressures and the need to bring national games to Winston-Salem as reasons for the switch. Ole Miss now must find a replacement opponent to fulfill its SEC non-conference power team requirement. Wake Forest will travel to Oregon State in 2025, and the Beavers will visit Winston-Salem in 2029 or earlier.
