According to the projections made by 247Sports, Ole Miss will not only host a first-round playoff game, but Kiffin’s tribe will also advance to the semifinals. And here comes Brad Crawford’s extensive analysis. In the analyst’s projection, the Rebels will earn double-digit digit double-digit wins again this season. This will work wonders squaring off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in Oxford, which would give them an edge in the CFP’s debut round. Wait, there’s more to it.

The future fantasies continue with five-seed Rebels winning to face the four-seed Utah Utes in the Fiesta Bowl. And here comes the main catch! In that matchup, Kiffin’s squad would come off with flying colors and secure their spot in the semifinals against Ryan Day’s Ohio State Buckeyes. Time to see if the guesswork galore pays off!
