"It could be minimal or it could be significant depending on which personnel and staff follow him out the door. The point spread will certainly be affected, but the bigger shift may come in offensive efficiency. With a defensive-minded coach likely taking the reins, expect the total to trend lower."
"but we definitely think Lane Kiffin's presence is significant for the Ole Miss team rating."
"Closer to one unless the market dictates otherwise,"
Lane Kiffin announced he will take the LSU job and will not coach Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff. Sportsbooks immediately adjusted title odds and power ratings, with the Rebels moving from 25-1 to 40-1 at Westgate and multiple oddsmakers estimating a multi-point downgrade. Estimates among Las Vegas sportsbooks ranged from about one to more than four points, reflecting uncertainty over which staff members will follow Kiffin. Oddsmakers flagged potential declines in offensive efficiency and a likely lower total if a defensive-minded coach takes over. Some power-rating models already place several teams ahead of Ole Miss without Kiffin.
