Florida Upsets No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17

In a significant upset, the Florida Gators defeated No. 9 Ole Miss 24-17, effectively knocking the Rebels out of College Football Playoff contention. Florida's DJ Lagway threw two touchdown passes, while Montrell Johnson rushed for 127 yards, leading the Gators to their second consecutive victory over a ranked team, clinching bowl eligibility in the process. Ole Miss struggled in key moments, failing to score on three red zone trips and suffering from dropped passes, particularly from star receiver Tre Harris, who exited with an injury. Jaxson Dart, the Ole Miss quarterback, threw two crucial interceptions, including one on the final drive, sealing the Rebels' fate. Despite their earlier victory against Georgia, Ole Miss's playoff hopes are now dashed, and they will conclude their season against Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. This loss marks a disappointing end to what was expected to be a strong season for the Rebels.
