AP Poll Top-25 Chaos After Ole Miss Football, Michigan Wolverines, Oregon Ducks Win

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels put the college football world on notice in Week 9 after earning a statement victory over the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday in Norman.

In a Top-15 showdown that generated significant buzz all week, Kiffin and Co. walked out of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium with a significant win to boost the program's resumé in 2025.

“That’s not even in our language,” Kiffin said when asked how to avoid the outside noise. “Whether its right or wrong, I don’t talk to them about that and playoffs and where you’re ranked.

"Any of that stuff. I just don’t. That’s just my philosophy. Actually, I did when I was younger, and it’s been a lot of years now that I don’t talk to them that way. Because it’s just about staying in the process.”

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss set the tone with a 315-yard performance through the air to go along with 53 yards on the ground with a touchdown on Saturday.

“Just finish the game off strong,” Chambliss said of his thoughts down the stretch. “Don’t get too high. Don’t get too low. We just didn’t want to feel that way, again. We made it that we don’t want to feel that, again, and that will never happen, again. We just need to finish games.”

Along with the Ole Miss Rebels, multiple Top-25 programs handled business in order to remain in the AP Poll Top-25 with the predictions rolling in on where each team could land.
