"Sixth-seeded Ole Miss beat third-seeded Georgia in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans' Caesars Superdome Thursday night. As one of the top four seeds of the playoffs, the Bulldogs earned a first-round bye. The Rebels, on the other hand, were coming off a 41-10 win over Tulane in the first round. With Thursday's win, Ole Miss advanced to the Fiesta Bowl next week to take on the University of Miami. The winner of that game will move on to the national championship."
"Although Ole Miss was in the middle of one of its most successful seasons ever, Kiffin did not finish the season out and instead left for LSU immediately. He was harshly criticized for the move. Kiffin left Ole Miss in the hopes of one day winning a national championship at LSU. With the Rebels now one win away from that very goal, social media users were quick to mock the coach for jumping a perfectly good ship."
