Instant Reaction: No. 8 Ole Miss defeats No. 13 Oklahoma
The Rebels' chances of earning a spot in the College Football Playoff took a big leap with a road win against the Sooners on Saturday.
Before the game, 8 Ole Miss's players and coaches had about a 50 percent chance of making the College Football Playoff. However, after the Rebels' 34-26 win against No. 13 Oklahoma, their chances significantly improved.
The Rebels will host South Carolina, The Citadel, and Florida over the next three weeks before facing Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl game in Starkville, which is considered the hardest game on their schedule.
