Lane Kiffin spurned Ole Miss for a better shot at national titles. Yet after Thursday night, it’s Ole Miss one win away from doing just that thanks to a dynamic QB, a little luck and, of course, Pete. www.si.com/college-foot...

Mario Cristobal, Pete Golding, Dan Lanning or Curt Cignetti will add their name to the list of four active head coaches with a national title by the end of the month. What a sport.

Pete Golding, on the job just a month, has more CFP wins than Lincoln Riley, Brian Kelly and Urban Meyer plus as many as Jim Harbaugh, Kalen DeBoer and James Franklin.

A super quick review confirms the targeting for JaCorey Thomas. Silver lining is he won't miss any semifinal should UGA advance.

Just tell people Daylen Everette is your draft darling in the spring and you'll be well respected. Five solo tackles, a PBU and that scoop and score already before the two minute timeout.

Ole Miss moved the ball well on that drive with Chambliss' darts. 2XP failed so it's 12-7.

Ole Miss can basically score as long as the sticks are past mid-field today with the way Carnerio is kicking. Interesting to see if that changes any of Kirby's strategy between the 40's.
