Jaxson Dart's interception seals Gators' upset vs. Ole Miss (0:20)

Jaxson Dart's second late-game interception ends Ole Miss' hopes as Florida secures the upset. (0:20)

With just two weeks remaining in the college football regular season, post-win social media trolls kept coming as teams look to enter the postseason -- or start the offseason -- on a high.

After flirting with a couple of potential upset wins earlier in the season, the Florida Gators notched two straight such wins in the Swamp. This Saturday's victim was the Ole Miss Rebels, who saw their playoff hopes crumble with the defeat. The Gators picked off Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart twice in the game's final two minutes to secure the victory.

The Rebels entered their trip to Gainesville ranked No. 9 in the College Football Playoff committee's most recent rankings. Florida's social media team paid homage to that fact with an edited scene from "High School Musical 2." The Gators also obtained possession of Ole Miss' basketball hoop and dunked on it on the sidelines postgame.

Here's a look at some of the best postgame jabs from Week 13 of the college football season.

Oklahoma 24, Alabama 3

In a tough day for ranked SEC teams, the Ole Miss Rebels fell to an upset in Gainesville, Florida, and later, the Alabama Crimson Tide were soundly beaten by the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe threw three interceptions in a crushing 24-3 defeat, marking the largest loss ever for a top-10 ranked Crimson Tide team against an unranked opponent.

According to ESPN Research, the 21-point loss was Alabama's worst margin of defeat since their 2019 National Championship blowout against Clemson.

The Sooners celebrated their emphatic victory over the Crimson Tide with a cheeky caption.


Ohio State 38, Indiana 15

The Ohio State Buckeyes mitigated an early Indiana Hoosiers score and cruised to an ultimately comfortable win in a game with major College Football Playoff and Big Ten implications. The Buckeyes' defense ran wild as Ohio State separated, finishing the day with 5 sacks and 8 tackles for loss as a unit.

After the game, the Buckeyes took a jab at Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti's "Google me" quip from the offseason with a clever caption, emphasizing the letter "L."


Central Michigan 16, Western Michigan 14

A low-scoring affair saw the Central Michigan Chippewas take home their first rivalry triumph against the Western Michigan Broncos since 2021. Central Michigan held the visiting Broncos to just 184 yards of total offense in the victory.

After the final whistle, the Chippewas trolled their rivals with a postgame graphic showing a drive back to Kalamazoo, Michigan, home of Western Michigan's campus. Trailing the vehicle are newspapers featuring the headline "MISSING" and "FOUND" above an image of the Victory Cannon Trophy, the hardware the two rivals play for every year.


Miami (Ohio) 20, Northern Illinois 9

The Miami RedHawks kept rolling in MAC play on Tuesday, dispatching the Northern Illinois Huskies 20-9 to move to 6-1 in conference play after starting the season just 1-4 overall. The victory helped the RedHawks keep pace atop the MAC standings.

Miami opted for a postgame jab at its opponent's Huskie mascot, using a caption referencing a doghouse.


Georgia Southern 24, Coastal Carolina 6

The Georgia Southern Eagles picked up their seventh win of the season, dispatching the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on the teal field at Brooks Stadium. Eagles quarterback JC French led the way, throwing for 294 yards and a touchdown in the win.

As has been common after Coastal Carolina losses this year, Georgia Southern poked at Coastal's distinctive rooster mascot, doing so in the form of an unfinished reference to the saying "winner winner, chicken dinner."


Florida A&M 41, Bethune Cookman 38

Though the Florida A&M Rattlers aren't in contention for another SWAC championship or Celebration Bowl, they still needed a win after suffering consecutive losses to Mississippi Valley and Prairie View A&M.

At the Florida Classic, the showdown between Florida A&M and the in-state rival Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, the Ratters high-stepped their way to a 41-38 win over the Wildcats. Florida A&M running back Thad Franklin Jr. led the Rattlers to victory with 26 carries for 195 yards and three touchdowns.

Following the win, the Rattlers took an excerpt from Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," inserting Bethune Cookman's mascot in the lyrics.


Texas Tech 56, Oklahoma State 48

In one of the highest-scoring games of the season, the Texas Tech Red Raiders outlasted the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a contest that saw 15 combined touchdowns between the two teams. The Red Raiders amassed 543 total yards of offense as part of the offensive outpouring.

Texas Tech also opted for a mascot-related troll, using the cowboy emoji in its post-win caption.
