Florida Upsets Ole Miss, Shattering Playoff Dreams

News summary

The Florida Gators delivered a significant upset by defeating No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17, ending the Rebels' College Football Playoff aspirations. This victory marked Florida's consecutive wins against ranked teams for the first time since 2008, boosting coach Billy Napier's standing with the program. Ole Miss, previously positioned for a playoff spot, faltered with Jaxson Dart's two interceptions in the final minutes, both caught by Bryce Thornton, sealing the loss. Ole Miss struggled with missed opportunities, failing to score in three red zone trips and dropping potential touchdown passes. The Gators' effective offensive play was led by DJ Lagway's two touchdown passes and Montrell Johnson's 127 rushing yards. The defeat illustrates a recurring issue for Ole Miss, which has yet to reach the SEC Championship Game since its inception in 1992.
