Lane Kiffin thinks so. He said on Saturday after the game that his team has really been in a playoff mindset since its second loss of the year (vs. LSU) last month, and it's possible that focus helped them to slay the Georgia giant in Oxford.

Star quarterback Jaxson Dart is a transfer from USC. Leading rusher Henry Parrish came to Ole Miss from Miami. Leading receiver Tre Harris – who Kiffin has called the best player at his position in the country – is a transfer from Louisiana Tech. Louisville transfer receiver Jordan Watkins leads the team with seven touchdowns.

The Ole Miss Rebels looked great in an upset win against the Georgia Bulldogs, but the committee might view this game as just that — a single game.
