Following the ninth-ranked SEC Tennessee Volunteers’ 17-42 loss to the eighth-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is facing significant backlash after criticizing the College Football Playoff committee’s decisions and voicing his disdain for the lack of SEC team.

Kiffin’s 9-3 Ole Miss Rebels were left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff, leading to his frustration on social media regarding the blowout losses at SMU and Indiana.

After SMU’s 10-38 loss to Penn State on Saturday, Kiffin tweeted this:

Lane Kiffin @Lane_Kiffin

Way to keep us on the edge of our seats Selection…. Enthralling

In addition to SMU’s blowout, the Indiana Hoosiers also lost 27-17 to Notre Dame on Friday.

The first SEC team to play in the College Football Playoffs was the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday, suffering a disastrous loss to Ohio State.

Kiffin wrote his thoughts prior to the Volunteers’ game, but ironically, he hasn’t been heard from since:

College football fans flooded social media after the Volunteers’ loss to roast Kiffin over his SEC comments:

The health committee @The health committee

The biggest loser in this Tennessee game is somehow Lane Kiffin

Did someone steal Lane Kiffin’s phone?
