Ole Miss Rebels

SEC program. 2025 season defined by Lane Kiffin's mid-cycle departure and the "tender hug" with Marty Smith. Interim staff under Pete Golding led team through the playoffs, beating Georgia before falling to Miami in a back-and-forth game. A Trinidad Chambliss pass was not called for PI on the final play, ending their national championship bid.

Current Show Posture

As of 2026-09-27:

Ole Miss has shown it can win after Lane Kiffin, most clearly in its 32–24 LSU result. Trinidad Chambliss remains a major advantage, including as a runner and red-zone creator. Louisville forced a full sixty-minute fight and Florida subsequently beat the Rebels, so the show keeps the playoff ceiling alive while asking whether Pete Golding’s supporting structure can supply enough consistency.
