Ranked No. 7 in the country by the College Football Playoff selection committee in its latest rankings, Mississippi is currently in line to host Alabama in the opening round of the upcoming tournament. Time will tell whether the Rebels still have the coach that has led them to that ranking and 10–1 record at this time next week.
Both LSU and Florida are reportedly in hot pursuit of Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, who is set to make a decision on whether he will remain with the Rebels or jump for an SEC rival after Friday’s Egg Bowl game against Mississippi State.
