Should Texas A&M and Alabama meet, the Aggies would have locked in a top-4 seed and opening-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Texas A&M could even overtake top-ranked Ohio State with 13-0 finish given the strength of schedule.

Ranked No. 7 in the country by the College Football Playoff selection committee in its latest rankings, Mississippi is currently in line to host Alabama in the opening round of the upcoming tournament. Time will tell whether the Rebels still have the coach that has led them to that ranking and 10–1 record at this time next week.

Nick Saban gave important advice to Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin as the coaching rumors intensify near the end of the 2025 season.

Lane Kiffin's current salary is $9 million. LSU, Florida and Ole Miss are expected to offer Kiffin in the $13 million to $14 million range, according to On3. In addition the three schools are also expected to offer at least $25 million for NIL roster investment, according to the report.

Ole Miss could be penalized if Lane Kiffin decides to leave for SEC rivals Florida or LSU before the College Football Playoff.
