Record: 10-2 | Sugar Bowl | New Orleans, LA

So Ole Miss runs the table and does not lose again this season. In the process, they defeat ranked teams such as Arkansas, LSU, Auburn, and Texas A&M. Ole Miss could possibly make the playoffs at 10-2, but would need some help.

Ole Miss needs to really root for Alabama to lose two SEC games this season, and for Ole Miss to go undefeated from here on.

What are the odds of that happening? Not high.

If Ole Miss would have defeated Florida State or Alabama, they would most likely be a top-10 team and in the playoff discussion.

So who would Ole Miss face off against in the Sugar Bowl?

Well, you are not going to like this.

Ole Miss vs Louisville. This is a nightmare matchup for the Rebels. Lamar Jackson would run all over the Rebel defense. Remember Francois and Hurts? Well, Jackson is even better.
