The 2026 Allstate Sugar Bowl features the 12-1 Ole Miss Rebels and the 12-1 Georgia Bulldogs. Here is the 2026 Allstate Sugar Bowl Preview.
The Rebels won 11 games to qualify for their first CFP. They defeated four bowl-eligible teams this regular season: Tulane, LSU, Washington State and Oklahoma. Their lone loss was to Georgia, a team that made the CFP. Lane Kiffin accepted the LSU job and will not be coaching the team in the CFP, as Pete Golding, former defensive coordinator, is now the head coach. Ole Miss dominated Tulane in the first round of the CFP.
Ole Miss scores 37.5 points per game, ranking 10th in the country. They pass for 312.4 yards (ranked third) and rush for 185.6 yards (ranked 33rd) per game.
Trinidad Chambliss started the season as the backup after transferring up from D-II-level Ferris State. He took over the starting job and played well, passing for 3,298 yards, 19 touchdowns and three interceptions on 66.6 percent completion. Six pass catchers have over 350 receiving yards on the season. Penn State transfer Harrison Wallace is the leading target with 738 yards and three touchdowns.
Deuce Alexander, Cayden Lee, De’Zhaun Stribling and tight end Dae’Quan Wright have also all been great targets.
Kewan Lacy handles the majority of the carries out of the backfield for the Rebels. He rushed for 1,366 yards and 21 touchdowns on the season. Chambliss has been the team’s second-leading rusher from the quarterback position with 506 yards and eight touchdowns. No other player on the team has more than 30 carries on the season.
The Rebels’ defense concedes 19.3 points per game, ranking 22nd in the FBS. They allow 147.8 rushing yards (ranked 66th) and 192.1 passing yards (ranked 29th) per game. Linebacker TJ Dottery has the team-high with 83 sacks. Princwell Umanmielen pressures the quarterback well and has eight sacks on the year. Wydett Williams Jr. has been impressive with eight passes defended and three interceptions.
Georgia won 12 games to make their second-straight 12-team CFP. They defeated five bowl-eligible teams this regular season: Tennessee, Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia Tech and Alabama. Their only loss of the season was to Alabama during the regular season. They received a first-round bye.
