No. 8 Ole Miss snapped a nine-game road losing streak against ranked opponents on Saturday with a dramatic 34-26 win at No. 13 Oklahoma that keeps the Rebels in prime position to reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history.

Ole Miss held off Oklahoma 34-26 behind Trinidad Chambliss, as a late Sooners misfire accidentally sent a cheerleader flying.

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels will square off against the No. 13 ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday in Norman with an opportunity to make a statement against a Top-15 foe.

Florida fans have clamored for Kiffin for weeks in the lead up to Billy Napier being fired midway through his fourth season with the Gators, as Kiffin has built Ole Miss into one of the better programs in the SEC. Kiffin hasn't denied the rumors, but he did address the coaching rumors to his team in the lead up to Ole Miss' game against Oklahoma.

Despite Oklahoma leading for more than 23:00 of game time, and by as many as nine points with 10:30 remaining in the second half, Wisconsin executed a late surge in the final minutes to tighten the score. That late push fell just one point short, with the Sooners holding onto an 84-83 victory.

These Sooners are flying under the radar, but they could shape Saturday’s top 15 battle with Ole Miss. Not only does Ole Miss rank No. 8 in this week’s AP Top 25, the Rebels also rank No. 8 among FBS teams in total offense,
