Following the ninth-ranked SEC Tennessee Volunteers’ 42-17 blowout loss to the eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is facing significant backlash after criticizing the College Football Playoff committee’s decisions and voicing his disdain over the lack of SEC teams.
Kiffin’s 9-3 Ole Miss Rebels were left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff, which led to his frustration on social media regarding the blowout losses of SMU and Indiana.
After SMU’s 38-10 loss to Penn State on Saturday, Kiffin tweeted this:
In addition to SMU’s blowout, the Indiana Hoosiers also lost 27-17 to Notre Dame on Friday.
Although Texas represented the SEC well in the College Football Playoff with a win over Clemson, the Tennessee Volunteers did not hold up its end of the bargain with a disastrous loss to Ohio State.
Kiffin posted his thoughts prior to the Volunteers’ game, but ironically, he has not been heard from since then:
College football fans flooded social media following the Volunteers’ loss to roast Kiffin over his SEC comments:
Kiffin opened himself up to criticism and received plenty of it on social media.
The quarterfinals will kick off on Dec. 31, starting with Penn State and Boise State in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
