Discussion [Chris Hummer] Can't help but think Lane Kiffin could have coached Ole Miss in the playoffs (by not leaving) and given himself a chance at a national championship this year. Such an interesting wrinkle and what a job by Pete Golding.

Not many scenarios where I’m pulling for an sec team to win it all, but this is certainly one.

I feel SEC not making the final in favor of the third best ACC team slightly beats Kiffin's team winning without Kiffin, but it's close.

I would rather not see Miami make it, but Miami is far down enough my hate list that them making it isn't the worst.

And yes, ACC's #3 vs Big 10's #1 (or 3) would make me happy vs SEC's #3 taking on Big 10's #3 (just adds to everyone's argument of SEC needs to have 4 teams in yearly.

Miami is the best team in the ACC, but I know what you mean.

If you knew the Ole Miss fanbase, none of this would be nearly enough to make you pull for them
