Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain firmly in the College Football Playoff race after earning a statement win over the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. No.

To replace Riley, Oklahoma hired longtime Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables. After years of high-scoring offenses but struggling defenses under Riley, Sooners fans were convinced that Venables could inject an increased level of physicality and toughness into their program.

No. 8 Ole Miss improved to 7-1 and doesn't have a ranked team left on its schedule after wining 34-26 at No. 13 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Mateer had surgery on the throwing hand during Oklahoma’s off week, then sat out the win over Kent State. He returned for the showdown against Texas on Oct. 11, but he had the worst game of his career and threw three interceptions in a loss. He limited mistakes in a win against South Carolina last week as the running game carried the load.

It was another disappointing day for the Oklahoma Sooners in a high-profile matchup. This time against a top-10 team in their 34-26 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels. The Sooners fought their way back for a third-quarter lead but squandered opportunities in the fourth quarter to get a big win.

When Oklahoma wins, it's because the defense keeps them ahead and forces opponents into frustration. Against Ole Miss, that's their biggest edge: the Sooners can dictate on their terms, neutralize explosiveness and make a track meet feel like a slog. If Oklahoma is the calm, Ole Miss is the storm.
