No. 5 Ole Miss (10-1, 6-1 SEC) further cemented the program's College Football Playoff chances in Week 12 after taking down the Florida Gators 34-24 at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Lane Kiffin and Co. once again made a statement in Oxford with the Rebels continuing a historic season despite the outside chatter surrounding the program.

“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.”

Now, the latest College Football Playoff projections are out with the Ole Miss Rebels predicted to host a first-round matchup. Which 12 teams make up Sports Illustrated's latest bracket?
