Ole Miss Surges to No. 11 in CFP Rankings

Lane Kiffin, head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels, has found a sense of belonging in Oxford, Mississippi, primarily due to family ties, as discussed on The Paul Finebaum Show. The Rebels recently made headlines with a decisive 28-10 win over the Georgia Bulldogs, which propelled them to No. 11 in the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. This victory is seen as a culmination of strong offseason preparation and has significantly improved their playoff chances to 61%. The CFP committee, led by Warde Manuel, lauded Ole Miss's performance against Georgia, acknowledging their impressive overall season. With a crucial upcoming game against the Florida Gators, the Rebels aim to maintain their momentum towards the CFP. The victory over Georgia also elevated Ole Miss in the 247Sports SEC Power Poll, moving them up four spots to No. 3.
