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 have increased significantly.
The Rebels will host South Carolina, The Citadel, and Florida over the next three weeks before playing Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl in Starkville, and they have one of the easiest schedules among SEC teams vying for a playoff spot.
