Kiffin is now 42-17 since taking over at Ole Miss in 2020, yet SEC Network's Paul Finebaum has frequently criticized the Rebels, particularly head coach Lane Kiffin.

Ole Miss football earned a marquee victory against Georgia in Week 11, boosting hopes of a CFP spot and impressing recruits.

The 10th-ranked Rebels then fell behind to Oklahoma at halftime. In the 10 quarters since, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin doesn’t think any FBS team has played better. “Some people would say right now we’re playing as well as anybody in the country, which we are,” Kiffin said.
