While some networks don't buy into the Ole Miss Rebels being a good national story, the SEC Network's Paul Finebaum shared his patented evergreen pro-SEC message and claimed the team Lane Kiffin forsook is "America's team."
The Rebels take on the Miami Hurricanes in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night. They would face the winner of Friday night's Peach Bowl matchup between the Oregon Ducks and the Indiana Hoosiers in the CFP National Championship Game on Monday, January 19.
Finebaum believes Ole Miss earned that label almost solely because of the anti-Kiffin narrative.
