Week 9 of the 2025 college football season should, once again, prove pivotal in a loaded SEC race. The SEC is home to all three games featuring ranked opponents during Saturday's slate, including two clashes between top-15 foes.

The SEC's new schedule format pairs Oklahoma with Ole Miss as a permanent opponent, a decision that has surprised many. Fans, media personalities, and even Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin have expressed confusion over the matchup due to a lack of history or geographical connection.

Ole Miss football's coaches poll ranking is down after a road loss at Georgia in Week 8. Here's where Lane Kiffin's Rebels are in the rankings.

The Week 9 College Football Coaches Poll is out, and the race for the top spots is heating up. With several teams still undefeated and a few surprise risers making noise, the playoff picture is starting to take shape.

Kirk Herbstreit says he was “impressed” with Ole Miss after its 43–35 loss to Georgia. The Rebels remain firmly in the SEC and College Football Playoff hunt. Ole Miss suffered its first loss of the season to Georgia, 43–35.

If Lane Kiffin is going to leave Ole Miss, the Florida Gators would have to give him an unprecedented salary for a college football coach.

Kirby Smart wasn't too pleased with his Georgia defense, despite a big win over Ole Miss. Georgia football is now 6-1 overall.
