Georgia 42, Ole Miss 7: the title favourite ends a 16-game home streak and trades near 29%
No. 2 Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) scored touchdowns on its first three possessions and led 28-0 at halftime at No. 10 Ole Miss (6-3, 4-3). Gunner Stockton threw four touchdown passes, three of them to Talyn Taylor from 58, 6 and 65 yards, and ran for another score, according to Ole Miss Athletics. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had Stockton at 9 of 15 for 186 yards. Georgia ran for 295 yards as a team; Ole Miss managed 66.
What the market is pricing
Georgia was already the favourite before kickoff. The win, combined with No. 1 Miami's 31-24 loss at Notre Dame the same night, added 4.2 points on Polymarket and 5.0 on Kalshi, and the two venues are now within half a point of each other. Ole Miss, listed as the Mississippi Rebels on the live page, fell from 3.8% and 3.5% before the game to 2.1% and 1.5%.
| National title, Nov 8, 08:49 UTC | Polymarket | Kalshi | Before kickoff (PM / Kalshi) |

BetG8's live page converts Georgia's price to American odds of +248. Every contender is on the college football championship odds page, refreshed every five minutes. Even as the favourite, Georgia's price means the market sees about a 71% chance that someone else wins the title.
How Georgia built the lead
Taylor's 58-yard catch opened the scoring, and Ethan Barbour added a 3-yard touchdown catch. Craig Dandridge ran in from 4 yards and KJ Bolden returned an interception 26 yards. Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss went 18 of 34 for 170 yards with an interception and a lost fumble, and the AJC counted five sacks against him. The Rebels' only touchdown was an 8-yard run by Shekai Mills-Knight; Horatio Fields set career highs with eight catches for 96 yards.
What it means for the playoff race
The AJC expects Georgia to move to No. 1 when the next College Football Playoff rankings come out, with Miami's loss opening the top spot. The win also avenged Georgia's 39-34 defeat to Ole Miss in last season's CFP Sugar Bowl quarterfinal, and it moves the Bulldogs closer to the SEC Championship Game. For Ole Miss, a third loss leaves the Rebels needing help in a 12-team field, which is why the title market cut their price by more than a third.
The same night reshaped the top of the board. Notre Dame climbed to 18.0% after beating Miami, Ohio State fell to 1.4% on Polymarket after a 41-28 home loss to Oregon, and Texas beat Missouri 34-20. Georgia's lead over the second-placed Irish is now about 11 points on both venues.
What to watch next
The next CFP rankings are released on Tuesday, November 10, at 9 p.m. ET. Georgia returns home to face No. 18 Missouri, and Ole Miss travels to Oklahoma on November 14. The final rankings that set the field come out on December 6.
