Ole Miss is now the last SEC team still in the playoff [View all]

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.
