Ole Miss Rebels, Oregon Ducks, Notre Dame Fighting Irish Headline Latest CFP Bracket

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain firmly in the College Football Playoff race following the program's 49-0 victory over The Citadel on Saturday in Oxford.

Following the win, No. 6 Ole Miss moved to 9-1 on the season with two games remaining to close out the year against the Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs.

“I was really pleased with how the starters played today,” Kiffin said after the win on Saturday. “These games can be hard to get up for.

“Our guys came prepared. Thirty-five to five on first downs. They really answered the challenge of coming out with the same energy regardless of the time, crowd or network. I wish our backup offense would’ve played better, but the back-ups defensively played well. Overall we had a very good day."

Now, Ole Miss is squarely in the College Football Playoff hunt with the projections following Week 11 having the Rebels hosting a first-round matchup against a fiery Southeastern Conference foe.
