00:00But we'll take a look at the updated national championship odds

00:03entering conference championship Saturday.

00:06You see it right there.

00:07Georgia at 8-1, Texas A&M at 12-1, Bama 14-1,

00:13and the Ole Miss Rebels minus Lane Giffen sit at 27-1.

00:18Thoughts about the conference as a whole

00:20and what transpired last Saturday afternoon?

00:24Well, I think Georgia has got themselves in a position

00:27to be the most favorable team in the conference.

00:30Alabama, with that great win in their conference rivalry,

00:35put themselves back in the hunt.

00:37And, again, until we know whether they win or lose

00:39this conference championship game,

00:41they can either be in the playoffs or be sitting outside looking in.

00:45So it's already – they've got a big conference championship game for Alabama

00:49because at 10-3 do they even get to the conference,

00:53the college football playoffs.

00:54So, again, we've got a bunch of SEC teams,

00:58maybe more SEC teams than anybody else.

01:00I think they're going to be in the college football playoffs.

01:04But there are still some people on the bubble, Alabama, Texas,

01:08you know, Oklahoma, those type of teams are still on the bubble.

01:13And then Ole Miss, because of the coaching shame,

01:16could they be on the bubble?

01:17We don't know that.

01:18No, we don't.

01:20Now, we think that, obviously, an 11-1 football team with or without Lane Kiffin,

01:26their new head coach on an interim basis, defensive coordinator Pete Golden,

01:31was announced in Knoxford this past weekend.

01:33And, obviously, Charlie Weiss now, news came out,

01:37will be able to coach.

01:38The offensive coordinator now of the LSU Tigers for 2026,

01:44will be able to coach for Ole Miss in a college football playoff matchup

01:48that came out of LSU and Lane Kiffin today.

01:51So, 27-1, do you buy in to Ole Miss?

01:56Obviously, you know, we have to see how the committee puts them and ranks them,

02:00but they're most likely in the playoff.

02:03How much does the hiring of Lane Kiffin to LSU hurt this team

02:08in a playoff type of situation?

02:10Well, I think it hurts some.

02:12I think, obviously, he was the head coach.

02:15He was the leader of their football program, and he's walked away and left.

02:19So, that's going to have some kind of factor.

02:21I mean, the fact that Charlie Weiss, and let's make this clear.

02:25Lane Kiffin doesn't call the plays.

02:26Charlie Weiss calls the plays.

02:28Lane Kiffin looks at the game plan sheet in front of his face

02:31and every now and then makes a suggestion.

02:34But Charlie Weiss calls the plays, and so that's important.

02:37But I do think that was Lane Kiffin throwing some crumbs to Ole Miss.

02:42I'll go recruit for LSU.

02:44I'll let you have my play caller for a game or two so he might help you.

02:50But Charlie Weiss being there is important to helping them

02:53because with him calling plays and their defensive coordinator still there,

02:57they still have a chance to play very, very well.

02:59So, I'll let you know.
