Kirk Herbstreit calls Ole Miss' 2021 season, ranking 'incredible'
Kirk Herbstreit is thoroughly impressed by Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss program.
The College Football Playoff selection committee’s No. 8 ranking for 10-2 Ole Miss was revealed Tuesday night on ESPN.
“That’s incredible,” Herbstreit said. “Incredible to see that Ole Miss brand up there with 10 wins. Lane Kiffin and his team with that offense. Matt Corral, the season he had. How nice to see them up in the top 8, finish 10-2, going to a New Year’s 6 bowl game most likely. … Who knows what they have in front of them? There have been so many rumors about Lane Kiffin leaving. It seems like he’s staying for now.”
Ole Miss fans hope the Lane Train remains in Oxford despite an already wild coaching carousel. Kiffin’s squad will learn its bowl assignment on Sunday. With a No. 8 ranking, the Rebels look to be New Year’s Six bowl bound.
