Ole Miss celebrated three times Thursday night. That's not an exaggeration—the officials literally made them come back to the field twice after they thought they'd won.

In one of the weirdest, wildest endings in bowl game history, the Rebels knocked off Georgia 39-34 in the Sugar Bowl to advance to the CFP semifinals.

The Quick Hit

  • What happened: Ole Miss wins 39-34 on a 47-yard FG with six seconds left, plus a safety on the ensuing kickoff
  • The damage: Rebels covered as 6.5-point underdogs by 11.5
  • Why you should care: Pete Golding is now 2-0 as Ole Miss head coach and two wins from a title
  • The move: Chambliss is the real deal—362 yards and two TDs against Georgia's defense

That Ending, Though

With six seconds left and Ole Miss down by two, Trinidad Chambliss hit De'Zhaun Stribling for 40 yards on third down. That set up Caden Carneiro for a 47-yard attempt. He'd already broken Sugar Bowl records with field goals of 55 and 56 yards earlier in the game.

Carneiro drilled it. Ole Miss wins. Players storm the field.

But wait—there's more.

On the ensuing kickoff, Georgia's return team tried a cross-field lateral that hit the pylon. Safety. Two more points for Ole Miss. Players storm the field again.

But wait—there's still more.

Officials demanded Georgia kick off with one second remaining. Everyone came back out. Georgia kicked. Ole Miss downed it. Game over for real this time.

Three celebrations. One win. Pure chaos.

Chambliss Was Incredible

The Ole Miss quarterback completed 30 of 44 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns. Against a Georgia defense that was supposed to be elite. He converted on third down after third down, including the biggest one of the game with six seconds left.

Harrison Wallace III caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score. Stribling finished with seven catches for 122 yards. Kewan Lacy rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

This was an offensive masterpiece against a team that was supposed to shut them down.

Georgia's Season Ends in Heartbreak... Again

The Bulldogs were in this exact spot last year. Same round. Same bowl. Same result—except last year it was Notre Dame that sent them home.

Georgia was the 3-seed and came in as 6.5-point favorites. They lost outright. The public money was heavy on the Dawgs, and they couldn't close it out.

The bye curse claimed another victim. Georgia had two weeks off while Ole Miss was grinding through a rematch against Tulane in the first round. The Rebels came into New Orleans battle-tested. Georgia came in cold.

Pete Golding's Wild Ride

Lane Kiffin bolted for LSU at the end of the regular season. Golding, the defensive coordinator, got handed the interim tag and immediately won a CFP first-round game against Tulane.

Now he's beaten Georgia and is headed to the Fiesta Bowl to face Miami for a spot in the national championship.

Two games as head coach. Two wins. Both against teams ranked higher than the Rebels. This is the kind of story Hollywood would reject for being too ridiculous.

The Betting Aftermath

Under bettors got destroyed. The total closed at 49.5, and these two teams combined for 73 points. The over hit by 23.5 points.

On the other side, anyone who grabbed Ole Miss +6.5 or the moneyline is absolutely printing money right now. The Rebels closed around +215 on the ML at most books. That's a nice payday for anyone who believed in the chaos.

The Bottom Line

Ole Miss is the definition of "house money" right now. They weren't supposed to be here. Their coach quit three weeks ago. They just beat Georgia in a game they had to celebrate three times to officially win. The Rebels face Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on January 8, and honestly? After what we watched Thursday night, nothing would surprise us anymore. Chambliss is cooking, Carneiro's got ice in his veins, and Ole Miss is two wins from a national title that seemed impossible a month ago.
