Back to Back

Ole Miss 31, Tennessee 10: all thirty-one before halftime, a 60-yard field goal at the horn, minus-2 Tennessee rushing yards, and a second straight ring — the belt race is tied 2-2 at the top with sixteen seasons to go.

The championship of the season that wouldn't schedule itself finally got played Sunday afternoon — after a 6 a.m. Saturday false start that Purp mercifully called off ("We can wait til tomorrow so people can watch") and Curt filed under league malpractice ("You mfs go play when mfs is sleep. 🤦🏽‍♂️😂"). When they did play it, with the room watching, it took Ole Miss about seventeen minutes of game clock to end the argument.

Ole Miss 31, Tennessee 10 — back to back

All thirty-one points came in the first half. A touchdown in the first quarter, twenty-four in the second, and then a second half in which nobody scored and Tennessee mostly needed a ride home. The half ended on the play of the game: Brian Camarillo, trotted out from sixty yards, drilling it at the horn — a kick most coaches don't even dial up in this league, now sitting on the champ's highlight reel next to a trophy.

The box score reads like a deposition. Ole Miss averaged 13.4 yards per play — 295 yards on just 22 snaps — and converted five of six third downs. Tennessee ran the ball eight times for minus-two yards. The team that put 44 on Michigan's vault defense managed 150 total yards of offense and threw three interceptions — Kona Fanaika, B. Womack, and M. Smith each came down with one — and after one of the picks, Purp waved the white flag on possession itself, conceding the ball right back to open the second half. Against this offense, that's not surrender. That's math.

The names on the trophy case: Deshaun Oden, the three-star nobody wanted, went 8-of-12 for 180 with two touchdowns and a pick. Logan McKenna — the freshman Jason famously let walk into the champ's backfield — carried eight times for 119 and two scores, longest 49. Terry Shelton caught three balls for 134 and two touchdowns, one of them a 56-yarder. Three players, one half of football, one dynasty extended.

The postgame ceremony was held in the group chat, per tradition. "gg," offered Purp. "Gg," returned the champ. "Finna hit these streets now," said the runner-up, heading out the door. And then the immortal exchange — Tayne, wandering in late: "who won". Purp, one word, the whole season: "Pat."

The Season Four story

It opened with an exodus — TV, Polo, Fields, and Cell all gone, four programs dark, Harry arriving at Georgia Tech for the standard 0-4 initiation — and it closed with the belt race tied at the top of the sport. In between:

  • The Norman heist. JT, in year one, walked into Oklahoma and beat the two-time defending points king 46-28 — still the loudest upset in league history — and rode it all the way to a playoff berth.
  • The unbeatens. KJ's TCU ran the regular season 13-0 and won the Big 12 title 45-14. Tayne's Notre Dame went 12-0 and earned the 2-seed. Combined playoff record of the unbeatens: 0-2, by a combined 104-14. This bracket eats résumés.
  • The crowns. Stew took the SEC 23-21 over Bawce, Bowzer beat States 24-14 for the B1G, Quan claimed the ACC, KJ the Big 12.
  • The Answer. Stew's 38-20 Week 11 statement over the champ — the only real loss on Ole Miss's season — set up the Cotton Bowl rubber match everyone demanded. Pat won it 39-36, then never trailed again all postseason.
  • The record book. The 77-7 first-rounder over TCU goes in as the biggest beatdown ever played, and Camarillo's 60-yarder now has a page of its own in league lore.
  • The run. Pat's bracket: 77-7, 39-36 over the No. 1 seed, 28-14 over last year's title opponent, 31-10 in the final. Four playoff wins over four different conference champions or seeds ranked above him. Fifteen and one.

The belt is tied. Two rings for Stew (Seasons One and Two), two for Pat (Three and Four), four of twenty accredited seasons decided, and the Playoff Points ledger reads Stew 49, Pat 41 at the top. The first dynasty argument of the Campus Kings era is officially open, and it has sixteen seasons to resolve itself.

Purp's consolation: a 14-2 season, scalps of JT, Tayne, and Dre, a 127-45 combined score through three playoff rounds, and the title of most dangerous out in the field — now with a title-game appearance stapled to it. The first ring is coming. Everybody in the chat knows it, which is why nobody says it.

Offseason opens "tomorrow supposedly but who knows" — Stew's words, the league's eternal schedule. The full bracket, the final ledger, and the record book are live on the site.
