Episode Details

Chase Daniel was making the case for Trinidad Chambliss and a national title. Roman Harper interrupted him: "Ole Miss isn't winning a title. It's Ole Miss."

That's the argument. Not the roster. The logo.

Steven Willis is joined by Bossman of Biscuits and SEC for the view of Ole Miss from outside Oxford.

IN THIS EPISODE:

😤 Brand bias, and the receipt for it. Ole Miss has the best quarterback in the country, the best running back in the country and the best kicker in the country. They beat Georgia in the Playoff last season with most of these same players. They're ranked 9th. And when I said on the SEC Squad that Ole Miss could win a national championship, that room looked at me like I had four heads. Bossman remembered the same SEC Network segment — and says media outside Oxford is overlooking this team, with the framing basically being Lane's gone, so it's back to the old Ole Miss. It isn't just us: Vanderbilt went 10-2 last year with two road losses to top-10 teams and missed the Playoff entirely.

🔫 "The monkey's got the gun." Bossman's line, and it's the best framing of Pete Golding anybody has given. Under Kiffin, Ole Miss couldn't spend on defense — that secondary was the bargain bin, and Miami took advantage of it in the semifinal. But Golding is the man who elevated those players into a unit that reached the cusp of a national title. Now he has the money, the control and a full year: Edwin Joseph (Florida State), Jay Crawford (Auburn), Sharif Denson (Florida), Joenel Aguero (Georgia) — four Power 4 starters in one secondary. And Bryan Brown, asked this week whether this defense can match the 2024 unit: they have work to do, but the potential is there — and they're definitely deeper.

📺 GameDay is coming to Oxford for LSU. Exactly what that game needed. And Bossman's read: Ole Miss fans may not be thrilled to see that crew, given how ESPN handled the Kiffin situation.

⚖️ And Greg Sankey drew the line. Per Bossman, the commissioner told schools professional athletes will not be allowed to play in the SEC — and sent something to LSU about a pro basketball player their coach was pursuing. Somebody finally stood up.

Plus Bossman's Louisville prediction, his SEC title game picks, and the two teams he thinks jump up and get somebody this year.
