Lane Kiffin takes shot at Clemson, ACC, Big 12 over College Football Playoff rankings

After a loss to Florida a week ago, Ole Miss dropped out of the projected 12-team College Football Playoff bracket. But when looking at other teams’ ranking, Rebels coach Lane Kiffin pointed out the impact of strength of schedule, particularly for SEC teams compared to ACC and Big 12 programs.

“We need to play really well, first off. That’s what’s in our control,” Kiffin said on his radio show Wednesday night. “And other things to happen. I’m not gonna get into the whole thing. And I’m not saying because of us. It’s ridiculous, the difference of playing in the SEC and the ACC and Big 12. To see these rankings – I’m not even doing the Ole Miss homer thing.

“To think that you’re looking at schools and you’re talking about, like, Clemson’s schedule and who they played over Alabama. It’s stupid. … I’m not gonna name them. Take some of those teams that are up there that haven’t played anybody and put them down in the SEC, they’re .500 teams.”
