Florida beating Ole Miss removes a team from the SEC's five-way tie for second place and increases Texas' chances for an at-large bid should things go awry against the Aggies. Another effect of Florida's win is an improvement of Texas' weak resume.

Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3 SEC) fell to Florida 24-17 in Gainesville, likely knocking the Rebels out of the College Football Playoff conversation. Ole Miss was 3-of-14 on third downs and 2-of-4 on fourth downs and failed to score a touchdown while in the red zone on the afternoon.
