Miami football defenders acknowledge the tough matchup Ole Miss presents ahead of Thursday's highly-anticipated Fiesta Bowl.

Four teams down, three games remaining, and two more weekends of football before the lone national champion is decided in Miami Gardens at Hard Rock Stadium. No

The final seconds of Georgia vs. Ole Miss on New Year's Day saw the teams come off the field, then return multiple times.

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss put together a standout performance, going 30-for-46 on pass attempts for 362 yards and two touchdowns. Nine of those completed passes went to Harrison Wallace III, who finished with a season-high 156 receiving yards and one touchdown.

When Ole Miss kicker Lucas Carneiro’s 47-yard field goal sailed through the uprights for a 37–34 Rebels lead, six seconds remained in regulation. But the game was far from over.

Ole Miss is moving on to the College Football Playoff semifinals to face Miami, as an improbable season is becoming an improbable story.

Georgia finished the season 12-1 and earned the No. 3 seed. The Bulldogs handed Ole Miss its only defeat on Oct. 18 in Athens, Georgia. During that contest, the Rebels led after three quarters before Georgia scored 17 unanswered points in the final period to secure a 43-35 win.

Georgia's Sugar Bowl loss to Ole Miss, other than its circumstantial similarity to last year's Sugar Bowl loss, defies simplistic explanation.

The College Football Playoffs resume Thursday with the Fiesta Bowl between Miami and Ole Miss. Who did the experts predict to win the game?
