Those complementary elements conspired to create a seismic shakeup of the playoff landscape. Florida’s 24-17 upset of No. 9 Ole Miss clinched a bowl berth for the hosts (6-5, 4-4 SEC) and knocked the Rebels (8-3, 4-3) from playoff contention.

Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3 SEC) fell to Florida 24-17 in Gainesville, likely knocking the Rebels out of the College Football Playoff conversation. Ole Miss was 3-of-14 on third downs and 2-of-4 on fourth downs and failed to score a touchdown while in the red zone on the afternoon.
