College Football Playoff contender set to lose coach to Oklahoma State

The college football coaching landscape is experiencing significant changes ahead of the regular season's final week. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is expected to announce his future with the Rebels on Saturday amid speculation linking him to potential moves to LSU or Florida. This announcement is anticipated following the "Egg Bowl" against Mississippi State.

In another development, Oklahoma State is set to hire Eric Morris, the current head coach of North Texas.
