The Rebels were the preseason favorite to win the national title, starting the season ranked first in the nation. The Rebels soon fell out of the rankings, however, after a loss to [[1964 Kentucky Wildcats football team|Kentucky]] in the second game of the year (the [[AP Poll]] ranked only the top 10 teams from 1962 to 1967). The Rebels' fall to seventh place in the conference was the school's first finish outside the conference's top four since 1950. They finished the regular season with a 5–4–1 record, tied for 20th in the final [[Coaches Poll]], conducted before bowl season. They were invited to the [[1964 Bluebonnet Bowl]], where they lost to [[1964 Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team|Tulsa]].
