CBS Sports' Lane Kiffin to LSU odds confirms foregone conclusion

The Lane Kiffin drama has led the Ole Miss fans to a point where they await the announcement Saturday more than the Egg Bowl Friday.

LSU played its final gambit in poaching Kiffin via a $90 million contract, and ever since, the odds have tilted in LSU's favor.

The anxiety that Kiffin would actually be leaving the Rebels right before the College Football Playoff is settling in Oxford. The latest rumblings in the odds markets are only making it worse.

"While it is unlikely there will be definitive clarity before next Saturday, numerous sources with knowledge of the situation have told CBS Sports in the last 24 hours that they believe the momentum has shifted in LSU's favor to land the talented head coach," CBS Sports' John Tatly and Matt Zenitz explain.
