Ole Miss rises a spot to No. 6 in College Football Playoff rankings despite losing its coach. Ohio State still No. 1
Ole Miss rose to No. 6 based on their win in Starkville and defensive coordinator Pete Golding’s promotion to head coach for the postseason, the committee said.
- Moments after the latest CFP rankings were released, Ole Miss Rebels rose to No. 6 despite Lane Kiffin leaving for LSU as the postseason approached.
- The CFP selection committee emphasized the Starkville result, appearing to base Ole Miss Rebels' rise on their Friday win despite coaching changes, while Hunter Yurachek warned a coaching shift could remove a key data point.
- Ole Miss named Pete Golding full-time head coach, promoting defensive coordinator Golding and retaining LSU-bound offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. to call the offense for the postseason.
- The ranking shift positions Ole Miss Rebels to host a first-round game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, with North Texas likely as the first-round visitor to Oxford, Mississippi.
- The CFP selection show is set for Sunday, Dec. 7 at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN as Alabama and Georgia meet for the conference title next week, leaving Pete Golding's program off that weekend.
