The Ole Miss Rebels (11-1, 7-1 SEC) captured a 38-19 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Friday in the annual Egg Bowl to further cement the program's College Football Playoff chances.

In a matchup that had a myriad of outside factors stealing headlines, Lane Kiffin and Co. earned the win in Starkville to move to 11-1 on the season amid a historic campaign for the program.

“But, hey, today is about this game. And like you said, 11 wins potentially for the first time in school history. That’s the first time for 11 wins in the entire state, by any program, in the regular season. So, a lot on the line, and our guys are focused and ready to play,” Kiffin said on Friday.

“This noise thing you’re referring to? This has been going on for weeks. This isn’t new for us."

Ole Miss stole headlines with the win - along with Kiffin's eventual departure from Ole Miss - with the Rebels now in contention to host a first-round matchup in the College Football Playoff.

Ole Miss, Oregon and BYU all captured much-needed wins over the weekend with the trio of schools all looking to further cement a spot in the College Football Playoff.
