Ole Miss continued its remarkable postseason surge, edging Georgia 39-34 in a thrilling College Football Playoff quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl, proving the Rebels haven’t missed a beat since Lane Kiffin’s departure.
Behind three touchdown passes from Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza and a dominant performance in the trenches, the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers (14-0) controlled the game from start to finish. Indiana jumped out to a 24-0 lead, outgained Alabama 407–193, and suffocated the Crimson Tide offense, holding them scoreless until a third-quarter field goal.
Cooper DeJean continues to separate himself at the top of the coverage metrics, pairing a league-leading advanced coverage grade with elite playmaking production, including 18 pass stops and 12 forced incompletions. Meanwhile, Jamel Dean remains the model of consistency, allowing a catch on just 45.5% of targets with a 46.9 passer rating allowed.
Advanced coverage grade uses machine learning to map the separation allowed on a play to the expected PFF coverage grade the player would have earned had they been targeted. This system also takes into account the difficulty of the assignment and the situation when making that assessment.
In a performance that would make the Legion of Boom proud, the Seahawks kept the 49ers out of the end zone and won 13-3 to secure the NFC's No. 1 seed.
Locked into the No. 7 seed in the playoffs, the Packers started third-string QB Clayton Tune and did not start 16 key contributors (a few played only on special teams). The result was predictable: a 16-3 loss that featured minus-7 total passing yards.
