The Ole Miss Rebels (10-1, 6-1 SEC) captured a 34-24 victory over the Florida Gators on Saturday night to further cement the program's College Football Playoff chances.

In front of a record-setting crowd at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Lane Kiffin and Co. took down an SEC foe in a matchup that took social media by storm all week.

“It’s really cool to see where our program is. Not just in (the Florida) matchup, but just in the SEC,” Kiffin said. “I told our guys this week. I’ve said it for two weeks, ‘As you get older everybody always says the good ol’ days.’

"And I said, ‘Hey, guys, I think we’re in the good ol’ days right now.' So I think for our fans, for our players it’s like this utopia of what’s going on. So, enjoy it because runs don’t happen very often.”

The Ole Miss Rebels handled business, the BYU Cougars powered past TCU, and the Texas A&M pulled off an improbable comeback as the trio of Top-25 programs got it done in Week 12.
