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.

Florida beating Ole Miss removes a team from the SEC's five-way tie for second place and increases Texas' chances for an at-large bid should things go awry against the Aggies. Another effect of Florida's win is an improvement of Texas' weak resume.
