The Lane Kiffin rumor mill has gotten to its final point as Ole Miss kicks off in the Egg Bowl against Mississippi State.

Despite the fact that the Rebels coach is staying pretty quiet about his upcoming decision to either stay at Ole Miss or go elsewhere, that's what everyone wants to know (we think he's leaving, for what it's worth).

But is Florida -- once seemingly rumored as a contender -- still in the running?

ESPN's Mark Schlabach is saying... sounds like no.

"I don't think Florida is in the picture much any longer," he said on Friday, "but I think both Ole Miss and LSU are gonna want an answer with National Signing Day coming next Saturday."

Sorry to Gators fans who were hopeful.
