Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin continues to question the College Football Playoff selection committee, arguing that the SEC is a different league compared to others. He believes the committee lacks understanding of the SEC's unique challenges and dominance.
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin arrives for an NCAA college football game against LSU in Baton Rouge, La., Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024. His Rebel Land Shark Black Bears defeated Duke 52-20 on Thursday night in the Gator Bowl. Afterwards, Kiffin used his post-game press conference to once again question the College Football Playoff corruption committee.The SEC is “just different,” Kiffin said, before launching into a ball-knowing manifesto.
“And so how do they even know? How do they even know what it’s like to have to go win in these places in these stadiums on the road with these teams?” Preseason No.1 Georgia lost on the road to Alabama and Ole Miss during the regular season, but won the SEC thanks to a pair of victories against Texas. In the College Football Playoff, however, the Bulldogs were punched in the face by Notre Dame, a team that has struggled against the SEC for years. No longer. The Fighting Irish was clearly the tougher team in the Sugar Bowl, knocking Georgia out of the playoffs with a decisive 23-10 victory.The Volunteers finished the season ranked No.
Here’s a question for the offseason. Did Alabama coach Nick Saban prop up the entire SEC? With Saban gone, the league that Kiffin considers so special is beginning to lose its shine. The top teams this season were all coached by former Saban assistants, and Alabama looked like a cheap counterfeit by its bowl game.
