Why Lane Kiffin could be poised to get Ole Miss to the College Football Playoff

OXFORD, Miss. -- It's just before 6 o'clock in the morning during the dog days of Ole Miss' sweltering preseason camp, and Lane Kiffin is already on fire.

No, he's not grading tape, drawing up new plays or even thinking much about football at all.

His endorphins are racing after an intense yoga session. As he transitions from yoga to prayer and meditation and finally to journaling, Kiffin reminds himself that this day, this week, even this season -- the most anticipated at Ole Miss in more than 50 years -- is not about him.
