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 their 34-26 win against No. 13 Oklahoma, those chances have increased significantly.
The Rebels' schedule for the next few weeks includes hosting South Carolina, The Citadel, and Florida before facing Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl game in Starkville, which is considered the hardest game on their schedule.
Beating the Sooners wasn’t easy, though.
