- Kiffin plans to coach Ole Miss against Mississippi State on Nov. 28, with the No. 6 Rebels at 10-1 and preparing for a potential College Football Playoff berth.
- Yahoo Sports reports LSU is finalizing a seven-year offer worth roughly $90 million plus more than $25 million in annual NIL roster investment, a pursuit blessed by Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and led by new AD Verge Ausberry.
- Ole Miss has countered with a lengthy extension and NIL guarantees believed to top $20 million this season, while Florida remains in the mix even as multiple reports indicate momentum has shifted toward LSU.
