Ole Miss' Playoff Hopes: What Happens If Kiffin Leaves?

The College Football Playoff committee has a big job. They rank teams based on many things. But what if a team loses a key coach? That's the question on everyone's mind with Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin. Hunter Yurachek, the committee chairman, said they don't look ahead. They deal with things as they happen. So, if Kiffin leaves, they'll consider it then. But right now, they don't have any data on how Ole Miss would do without him. This is a big deal because Kiffin's future is uncertain. Rumors say LSU, Florida, and Ole Miss are all making big offers. Kiffin seems to be the one calling the shots. Meanwhile, Ole Miss dropped to No. 7 in the latest rankings. Oregon moved up to No. 6 after a big win. The committee said this was all about Oregon's performance. They didn't talk about Ole Miss or Kiffin. But the question remains: how much does a coach matter? The committee says they consider it, but they don't have a clear answer. This could be a big factor for Ole Miss. The situation is full of intrigue. Kiffin's decision could change everything. For now, the committee waits. But everyone else is watching closely.
