The Ole Miss Rebels' rise in the post-Lane Kiffin era during the 2025/2026 College Football Playoff has been inspiring. Not to CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli, though, apparently.
Fornelli ranked all four potential CFP title game matchups, and his bottom-two matchups both included Ole Miss. Fornelli ranked the four, asking, "How competitive would the game likely be? How does the matchup look?" and "Who has the coolest uniforms?" Fornelli also "considered which matchup would be most appealing to a broader audience."
It wasn't all bad, though. Fornelli did imply that the entertainment value of the Rebs and Oregon Ducks would be the highest.
