Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is preparing for a possible SEC championship game in the midst of his LSU, Florida decision
Ole Miss is still alive for a conference title game spot as well. They won the Egg Bowl on Friday to improve to 7-1 in conference play. The Rebels are 11-1 overall and are ranked No. 6 in the nation. Their only loss came at Georgia on Oct. 17 when they fell 43-35.
The SEC tiebreakers at play in Week 14 after Texas upset Texas A&M and how Alabama, Ole Miss and Georgia can make the SEC Championship Game now.
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban said Ole Miss should let Lane Kiffin coach the Rebels in the SEC Championship even if he's leaving for another school.
Ole Miss football is on track to host a home College Football Playoff game, but the best track to doing so may be to avoid the SEC Championship game.
Should Texas A&M and Alabama meet, the Aggies would have locked in a top-4 seed and opening-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Texas A&M could even overtake top-ranked Ohio State with 13-0 finish given the strength of schedule.
It's the day Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter said Kiffin's decision would be announced. Ole Miss is trying to keep Kiffin. LSU is trying to hire him and Florida appears out of the running.
