Ole Miss Football's College Football Playoff Odds Skyrocket Alongside Oregon Ducks

In this story:
Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain firmly in the College Football Playoff race as the program looks to make history in 2025.
After a red-hot start to the season, Kiffin and Co. enter Week 11 with an 8-1 record with the program's College Football Playoff odds increasing by the day.
“I really hadn’t thought much about that. This isn’t coach speak. I really don’t, because it’s still so early and so much left to play,” Kiffin said about the College Football Playoff this week.
“I hadn’t thought about that, but probably that would be the part I’d look less about where we are and more of that just to see, OK, are they actually going to pay as much attention that we were told they are going to now?"
