Lane Kiffin doesn’t claim to be some mad scientist or something. He’s simply a college football head coach, and right now his Ole Miss program is surging toward a possible College Football Playoff spot.

The Rebels took down Georgia in Week 11 in Oxford to improve to 8-2, and they are now ranked 11th in the latest Playoff rankings that were released on Tuesday night. After a bye this week, they will head to The Swamp to face Florida on Nov. 23 before hosting Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl on Black Friday.

Clearly, Kiffin’s team is in the mix for a spot in the SEC Championship Game next month in Atlanta. With so many teams up near the top of the SEC standings, it’s going to be a dogfight to see which 2 teams ultimately punch their ticket to the SEC title game. And regarding that, Kiffin has what he thinks is a simple solution to what will surely be a complicated tiebreaker scenario when the dust settles on the regular season in a few weeks.

“You guys have more time than me to do that stuff. I know it somewhat, but it seems extremely complicated, and I don’t know,” said Kiffin. “It was discussed and these common records, common opponents and all this seems really complicated. … I would think it would have been a lot easier to say, ‘What are the top two teams in the college football rankings?'”

Kiffin wasn’t trying to solve world peace or anything. He was just a little confused by the SEC tiebreaker rules and offered his 2 cents on trying to make it simple. Of course, what Kiffin suggested isn’t the rule, so figuring out who is headed to Atlanta will likely be chaotic and a little confusing.
