The defense forced three Bulldog turnovers and limited the rushing attack to just 39 total yards on 30 attempts.<\/p>\n Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart was solid, going 14-of-24 for 143 yards and a touchdown while adding 77 yards on five carries on the ground. Tailback Ulysses Bentley IV was the star of the day with 20 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n The victory was the final opportunity for Ole Miss to make a case for the Playoff. The Rebels will not play in the SEC Championship and entered the game as the No. 14 team in the rankings.<\/p>\n This is not a good sign for the team’s chances, as 12 teams qualify and five of the entries will come via a conference champion bid. Ole Miss will need to hope some chaos happens in front of them and that the committee values some of the program’s strong wins.<\/p>\n Fans took to social media to debate Ole Miss’ candidacy and whether the gauntlet of the SEC schedule is enough to push them past programs with better records.<\/p>\n Okra Dawg @theokradawg<\/span><\/p>\n Ole Miss ain’t a playoff team. It’s as simple as that<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Wes C @WesClements22<\/span><\/p>\n All we hear is SEC football deserves more and more. If anyone is watching this Miss St-Ole Miss game now, Miss St has not even won a conf game and they are moving ball at will on Ole Miss. Ole miss has no business being in playoff conversation. Then you say Oh they beat Ga .So\u2026<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Unhinged Buckeye @Bucks4lifeee<\/span><\/p>\n Ole Miss struggling to put away 2-9 Mississippi State ain’t no way this is a playoff team ????????<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Shoe @2turnturfraces<\/span><\/p>\n One thing is for certain, no matter the outcome of the Egg Bowl, Ole Miss is not a playoff team. <\/p>\n Don’t like to say it but facts are facts.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Ole Miss Sports @RebelSportsTalk<\/span><\/p>\n Miserable showing by Ole Miss today! Completely out-coached against a really really really bad MSU team.. glad to win but we are eliminated from playoff contention and I hope a lot of young guys get playing time in the Bowl game! Future is very bright however<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The Cougar King @tck_cfb<\/span><\/p>\n CFB playoff committee watching this snoozer of an egg bowl .

A 26 to 14 victory, UM now 9 & 3 and not out of the CFB playoff category. A lot has to happen for Pretty Boy’s team to be in the group of 12 after next weekend.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Your Married Pal Brian @BrianTenerowicz<\/span><\/p>\n Big win for Ole Miss who will now still not go to the college football playoff<\/p>\n
