“Looks like your lawn may be artificial,” Pollard wrote back.
By Wednesday morning, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin stopped bothering with comparing the Rebels' résumé with others and instead decided to just put the entire College Football Playoff selection committee on blast for apparently favoring the ACC.
