Georgia's Streak Snapped
Ole Miss joined Alabama as the only teams to defeat Georgia since 2021. The last non-Alabama team to beat Georgia in the regular season was Florida in 2020. The Bulldogs were 53-0 against teams not named Alabama in that span.
Ole Miss has now accounted for two of Georgia head coach Kirby Smart's 18 career losses. Smart and the Bulldogs fell 45-14 to the Rebels in Oxford in 2015, the first loss of Smart's career and still the largest margin of defeat in his career.
This comes as the largest margin of defeat for Georgia since the 2019 SEC Championship vs. LSU (37-10) and the largest in the regular season since 2018 vs. LSU (36-16).
Historic Victory
This comes as the highest ranked win for the Rebels in Oxford since beating No. 1 Alabama 23-17 in 2014 and the first top-five win at home since defeating No. 4 Mississippi State 31-17 in the 2014 Egg Bowl. It's Ole Miss' fifth top-five win all-time at home.
The win comes as Ole Miss' 15th top-five win in program history, regardless of venue, and its first since beating No. 2 Alabama 43-37 in Tuscaloosa in 2015. The 18-point win is Ole Miss' largest margin of victory over a top-five team since beating No. 3 Tennessee 38-0 in 1969.
This is Ole Miss' highest ranked win ever against Georgia, the previous best being Ole Miss' 29-20 win over No. 3 Georgia in 1967 when the Rebels were unranked.
