Very few college football fans expected Miami and Ole Miss to make the tournament and play their way into the semifinals.
Nevertheless, that’s exactly what fans will see on Thursday night after the upsets of Ohio State and Georgia, respectively.
The Hurricanes and Rebels will now square off in an unlikely Fiesta Bowl showdown in Arizona. The winner will play for a national championship.
Miami vs. Ole Miss Odds
- Point Spread: Miami -3.5
- Moneyline: Miami -160 | Ole Miss +135

Miami vs. Ole Miss: Fiesta Bowl Playoff Game
Both teams turned BetMGM’s college football national championship odds market upside down with quarterfinal wins. Ohio State and Georgia were the most popular championship tickets among BetMGM players.
Now, the dynamic Ole Miss offense will try to survive first contact with Miami’s nasty defensive line.
One key handicapping factor here is how much credit you want to assign to Miami for beating the Buckeyes on New Year’s Eve. Did Miami’s defense get off to a fast start against Ohio State because it has the best positional group in the CFP? Or did Ohio State’s offense simply fail to launch after playcaller Brian Hartline left Columbus for a new gig at South Florida?
Correctly calibrating that dynamic could be the key to correctly handicapping this Fiesta Bowl.
