Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels are on the cusp of making the College Football Playoff, but their case was greatly hurt when they fell 24-17 to the Florida Gators in Week 13.

They also struggled against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, one of the lowliest teams in the sport right now, in the 26-14 Egg Bowl victor on Friday. But Kiffin has been adamant about making a case for his team to be included in the race this year with the new expanded 12-team format.

Kiffin recently took to social media, as he so often does in classic Kiffin fashion, to lobby for the Rebs. He tagged the CFP committee in a pair of posts and also reposted an Ole Miss Playoff argument. And, to be fair, it is clear to see that a reasonable point is made in terms of where Alabama is currently ranked and what Ole Miss has done in comparison.

It is going to be a close call either way, but whether or not the Rebels are left on the outside looking in or just barely edge their way in will be a storyline to follow as the final CFP rankings are revealed with the postseason getting underway.
