Lane Kiffin was just given all the power and leverage in his ongoing negotiations with the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU Tigers, and Florida Gators by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee's view on his potential mid-season departure from Oxford, Mississippi.
As On3's Chris Low reports, the Rebels could be bumped from the College Football Playoff, or at least be at a seeding disadvantage, if Kiffin leaves the program.
“If you’re suddenly without your head coach when they do the final seeding, the coach who’s gotten you to that point, then they could definitely drop you in the seeding order and put you on the road," Low's sources told him.
