The 2025 Sugar Bowl was one of the most thrilling games of the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, as the No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels defeated the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs 39–34 at the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans to advance to the CFP semifinals. The dramatic New Year’s Day showdown featured high stakes, big plays, and a game-winning kick in the final seconds.

Ole Miss jumped out early with long field goals from Lucas Carneiro, including kicks of 55 and 56 yards that energized the Rebels and helped build momentum. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss put on a career performance, completing 30 of 46 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Ole Miss offense with poise and precision against one of college football’s elite defenses.

Despite trailing 21–12 at halftime, Ole Miss rallied behind explosive plays and balanced scoring drives. The Rebels outscored Georgia 20–10 in the fourth quarter, retaking the lead late in the game before holding on in a back-and-forth finish. Georgia battled back and tied the score with under a minute left before Carneiro’s 47-yard field goal with six seconds remaining delivered a dramatic Sugar Bowl victory.

Georgia responded with an onside kick and chaotic final play attempts, but Ole Miss preserved the win, ending the Bulldogs’ playoff run and sending the Rebels to face Miami in the Fiesta Bowl semifinal.

The epic 39–34 Sugar Bowl result is considered one of the most exciting games of the 2025–26 CFP season, showcasing Ole Miss’s resilience and clutch performance on college football’s biggest stage.
