Many experts didn't give Ole Miss much of a chance and the narrative was because their coach left. They had to beat the SEC Champion Georgia so it was a guarantee at least 1 SEC team would be in the semifinals.
2 Big Ten teams in Indiana & Oregon play each other in the Peach Bowl semifinal. Miami (ACC) & Ole Miss will play each other in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday.
Not so much Ole Miss but there isn't a team left that I wouldn't mind win the title and they are all deserving of the chance. Glad analysts don't decide the games.

All of the recent powerhouses are gone. Good to see some different teams for a change.

The 23 year drought of year end championship hopes is apparently over. This team could beat anyone. Hopefully will! 🙌

Good luck to the remaining teams.
