Florida–Ole Miss Fallout: Kiffin Chaos, Gator Problems, and Playoff Drama

This episode breaks down the wildest storyline of the weekend: Lane Kiffin vs. Florida — both on the field and in the rumor mill. We open with Florida’s frustrating 34–24 loss at Ole Miss, spotlighting DJ Lagway’s strong designed-run usage in the first half… and the puzzling disappearance of it in the second. The Gators' defense once again gave up massive chunk plays, including a monster night from Kewan Lacey (31/224/3), the one player they couldn’t afford to let beat them. And Florida’s season-long issue shows up again: they can’t close games — Georgia, Ole Miss, USF, and even their wins vs Mississippi State and Texas all showed the same cracks. Then we dive into the controversial picked-up pass interference flag and whether the SEC had an interest in Ole Miss securing a College Football Playoff spot. Next: Lane Kiffin. We break down everything he said after the game — what he meant, what Ole Miss fans hated, and what his comments really indicate about his future. Plus we get into the Baton Rouge rumors, the family trip to LSU, whether LSU was ever real, and why Florida may still be the most logical landing spot if Kiffin leaves. Then we hit the rest of the weekend’s biggest stories: Was Pitt ranked only to boost Notre Dame’s résumé? BYU deserves a playoff spot if they win out USF blows its opportunity & Golesh becomes a real name for Oklahoma State James Franklin to Virginia Tech — steppingstone or final destination? We close with a full breakdown of the most chaotic question in college football: If Michigan, USC, Alabama, and Oregon all finish with two losses, who gets in? We compare best wins, worst losses, head-to-heads, strength of schedule, and what the committee historically values — and why Michigan may get the nod even if they aren't the most deserving.
