Summary
Rivalry Weekend delivered chaos everywhere except the playoff race, which remains hostage to the Lane Kiffin – LSU saga. Stew, Bruce, and Ralph unpack whether Ole Miss will be able to let Lane coach a playoff game, then they run through the SEC coaching dominoes already falling. They react to Kalen DeBoer’s bold fourth-and-two call in the Iron Bowl, Oklahoma’s latest escape, and what an Alabama loss would mean for the bracket. Plus Miami’s playoff case and the ACC tiebreaker fiasco.

| 0:18.2 | Perhaps we should call this the no-sleep edition of the |
| 0:20.9 | audible. I'm Stuart, to the point where I almost said somebody else's name. I'm not |

| 0:57.1 | place on the field Saturday? All right, Ralph, start us out. Where are we on Lane, as of this recording, |
| 1:03.9 | on Lane Kiff and LSU watch? We are still waiting. I'm going to steal my colleagues reporting, |
| 1:10.7 | right? Bruce reported earlier today, this morning, |
| 1:14.6 | that Lane's expected to go to LSU. I don't think that's surprising. As early as early yesterday, |
| 1:22.6 | Bruce was reporting that LSU was really confident that they were going to get late. |
| 1:28.4 | And now it's just a matter of will, I think it's mostly, unless there's a last minute change |
| 1:34.6 | of heart thing here, I think it's mostly just a matter of will Ole Miss allow Lane Kiffin |
| 1:39.8 | to coach the team as it heads toward the playoff. |
| 1:43.8 | Ole Miss is almost certainly going to be hosting a playoff game in a few weeks. |
| 1:49.2 | Will the Ole Miss administration allow him to coach that game? |
