Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh lost to a Notre Dame team that will be playing in the National Championship 29-26 after 3 overtimes on November 3. Senior running back Ray Graham rushed for 1,042 yards, while senior quarterback Tino Sunseri passed for 3,103 yards. Pittsburgh has a formidable defense that allows only 19.7 points per game. The Panthers will play in the BBVA Compass Bowl for the third straight year.
Mississippi: The Rebels make their first bowl appearance since the 2009 season. Ole Miss has won 8 of its last 9 bowl games and has a .636 winning percentage in the postseason all-time. The Rebels became bowl-eligible only after their final game, a 41-24 victory over in-state rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. Ole Miss fans should dominate the crowd with Legion Field being only a three hour drive from Oxford.
