A Georgia-Ole Miss Rematch Provides Ample Intrigue to Their CFP Quarterfinal Clash at the Sugar Bowl

  • On Jan. 1, the sixth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels meet the Georgia Bulldogs in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl, seeking redemption for a 43-35 loss on Oct. 18.
  • After Lane Kiffin's departure, Pete Golding led Ole Miss to a 41-10 win over Tulane while top assistants, including Charlie Weis Jr., committed to LSU but stayed through the postseason.
  • On paper, both teams enter 12-1 and tied for the SEC regular-season title at 7-1, with Georgia junior quarterback Gunner Stockton completing 70.7% of passes and Ole Miss senior Trinidad Chambliss completing 66.7%.
  • The immediate prize is clear: the winner advances to the Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Jan. 8, while a victory would bolster Pete Golding's credibility despite the Georgia Bulldogs being 6.5-point favorites.
  • With the transfer portal opening on Jan. 2, Lane Kiffin is expected to pursue some Ole Miss players while Trinidad Chambliss' future remains uncertain, and security measures prepare for Kiffin and Jeff Landry's possible attendance.
