Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin popped off this week making the claim that not only is the SEC the best conference in college football but that it’s “ridiculous” the difference between playing there and in the ACC or Big 12.
Kiffin, who had the most talent possibly ever assembled in Oxford, has his team at a disappointing 8-3 and No. 14 in the College Football Playoff rankings heading into Friday night’s Egg Bowl against 2-9 Mississippi State, apparently one of those SEC stalwarts.
The Ole Miss coach also didn’t mention the Big Ten, which has the lone undefeated team left in Oregon and three one-loss teams in Ohio State (whose only loss came to Oregon), Penn State and Indiana (both of which only lost to the Buckeyes).
