It's an SEC showdown at the 2026 Sugar Bowl as No. 3 Georgia takes on No. 6 Ole Miss in the CFP quarterfinals.
The Bulldogs look unstoppable at this point in the season, taking down rival Alabama in the SEC Championship game. They faced the Rebels in October, using a late surge to earn a 43-35 win. But it's hard to beat a team twice.
Ole Miss has plenty of momentum after defeating Tulane 41-10 in the CFP first round game. Plus, the Rebels are playing for someone bigger than themselves. Pete Golding took over as head coach after Lane Kiffin's departure, and rather than letting the coaching change break down the team, Ole Miss is using Golding's leadership to lead them through the playoffs.
This is going to be a good one. Here's how to watch as Georgia takes on Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl with TV channel and start time.
