In the latest College Football Playoff Rankings released on Tuesday night, Ole Miss fell to No. 14, a drop of five spots from last week's mark of No. 9. That puts the Rebels in a difficult position in terms of reaching the playoff with one regular season game left to play followed by conference championship week.

The Florida Gators took down the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels 24-17 on Saturday at Florida Field. That’s four consecutive home wins for the Gators (6-5, 4-4 SEC), including back-to-back victories against ranked opponents that qualified them for a bowl game.

Those complementary elements conspired to create a seismic shakeup of the playoff landscape. Florida’s 24-17 upset of No. 9 Ole Miss clinched a bowl berth for the hosts (6-5, 4-4 SEC) and knocked the Rebels (8-3, 4-3) from playoff contention.
