The 2016 Sugar Bowl is a battle between teams desperate to end the season on a positive note.
For the Ole Miss Rebels, it's all about exorcising the demons of bowl season past. Ole Miss, of course, lost in devastating fashion in the 2015 Peach Bowl to a TCU team that was looking to prove a point.
For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the game represents an opportunity to remind people why they were good enough to get here in the first place. Mike Gundy's squad lost back-to-back games to close out the season but still earned the Sugar Bowl berth due to Big 12 tiebreakers.
