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.

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.

The Rebels lead the SEC in scoring and is second in scoring defense. They’re at full strength for the first time in awhile, led by the expected return of star receiver Tre Harris.
