00:00Let's take a look at the updated odds entering the holiday weekend.

00:03We see Texas A&M at plus 170, followed by the Georgia Bulldogs at plus 185.

00:10Alabama hanging in there at 2-1, and Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels

00:14rounded out at a 15-1 number.

00:17Thoughts about where A&M is?

00:19They have a rivalry game against Texas.

00:22This conference is loaded.

00:23We could see multiple teams in the college football playoff.

00:27We sure can, and we still don't have any sure bet who's going to be in the SEC championship.

00:33Texas A&M, because they have not faltered.

00:35They have won every game.

00:37They have found a way to win.

00:38Now, they have won mostly on the bottom half of the SEC game, not the top half,

00:43and that's the negative against them, but they have played well enough to win.

00:47Of course, a big win over Notre Dame as well,

00:50and so I can see them being the number one team,

00:53but I'm going to tell you Georgia's got a tough one to finish up with,

00:56but Georgia's, Alabama is playing Auburn in the Iron Bowl in Auburn.

01:00A lot of football to be played,

01:03and you could see losses to any of those teams because of who they're playing.

01:07Now, Ole Miss benefit the fact that they have the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.

01:13Most likely, they're not going to make an SEC championship.

01:17That should benefit them,

01:18but then their head coach, Lane Kiffin, might not be on the sidelines come December 19th

01:24when the college football playoff starts.

01:26There's rumors about him maybe jumping to LSU or Florida.

01:31Are they in a prime position with or without Lane Kiffin heading into this weak matchup

01:36against Mississippi State, who's fighting for bowl eligibility right now?

01:40Well, you know, that coaching search and Lane Kiffin, it's been interesting for him,

01:46but it's a mess right now.

01:47If he loses this football game, they're going to blame him.

01:50He's going to have to leave because it's a mess,

01:53and if he's going to stay, he should go ahead and make his mind up,

01:58so it's a difficult situation.

02:00He's gone after this game, I think.

02:01If he doesn't make his mind up and they don't win,

02:04I think he's almost got to leave.

02:06I just think it's a mess,

02:07and I think everybody's going to look to him and say,

02:09why did you do this?

02:10They have a chance to have the greatest season in the history of their school.

02:15If they win Saturday and Friday, would he walk away?

02:18Could he leave that situation?

02:20It's an uncomfortable situation, and to be honest with you,

02:24Lane enjoys the limelight.

02:25He's enjoying every bit of it,

02:27but I'm not sure he didn't see this thing getting to this point

02:30where he needs to make his mind up as soon as that game's over.

02:34And, Coach, I know Lane loves the limelight, right?

02:38And I understand he likes having the media attention.

02:41But if his sights and his real concern was the Ole Miss Rebels,

02:45and big picture, he thought about this team making the college football playoff

02:49and taking care of business,

02:51wouldn't he come right out earlier, maybe a week ago,

02:55and get out ahead of this and say,

02:56I'm the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels.

02:59I'm not going anywhere.

03:00Our thoughts are on a potential Egg Bowl, SEC title,

03:04and more importantly, national championship.

03:07I mean, if that was his ultimate goal,

03:09why put the team at a detriment with all this media uncertainty

03:13and bring extra pressure on the team if that wasn't his ultimate goal?

03:19Well, you've hit it right on the head.

03:21This is a huge game.

03:22This game means more to the fans of these two schools than any other game.

03:26And now, Lane Kiffin, if he knew he was going to stay at Ole Miss,

03:31and I guarantee he knows whether he's coming or going.

03:33In his mind, he knows whether he's coming or going.

03:37And if he's waiting now until after this game,

03:40I just think he's done a disservice to the Ole Miss program.

03:43And what they did to help him, you've got to remember,

03:46they gave him a chance to reestablish himself as a power four head coach

03:51when he had had some difficulties in the past.

03:53And I just think what should be a positive could very well turn out

03:58to a real negative and no telling what would be said or done

04:02if they did not win this game.
