Ole Miss' push for the College Football Playoff took a death blow Saturday after a 24-17 road loss to unranked Florida on Saturday afternoon in

With 1:32 left in the fourth quarter, Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart, playing aggressively and desperately, threw an end-zone interception into triple coverage. But Florida called game with a second interception against Dart with 17 seconds left after Ole Miss got the ball back.

Ole Miss' 24-17 loss to Florida continues a familiar storyline that has plagued even its best seasons in the modern era. The Rebels have never played in the SEC Championship Game -- which began in 1992 -- and must go all the way back to 1963 to find their last conference title.
