LSU's Eligibility Circus, PLUS Your Full SEC Week 1 Preview

from SEC State of Mind Hosted by Bleav

Taylor Davis and Jason Campbell open by wrestling with the LSU/Lane Kiffin saga and the SEC's new rules against rostering former NFL players, LSU's pending Thursday hearing in Baton Rouge, and whether a Clemson loss would even count toward the Playoff They preview four marquee Week 1 games, starting with Clemson at LSU (LSU -10.5, O/U 50.5), where transfer QB Sam Leavitt and left tackle Jordan Seaton give Blake Baker's defense the edge over Clemson's Christopher Vizzina in his first true start. In Nashville, they call Ole Miss-Louisville (Ole Miss -6.5) the week's sneakiest upset candidate, weighing Ole Miss stars Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy against Louisville's Isaac Brown and new starter Lincoln Kienholz. They break down Auburn-Baylor in Atlanta (Auburn -7.5), where new coach Alex Golesh leans on QB Byrum Brown and transfer RB Bryson Washington against a shaky Baylor defense, and Florida-Florida State in the Swamp (Florida -26.5), Jon Sumrall's home debut behind transfer QB Aaron Philo and a loaded receiver room. They close by flagging Alabama's opener as the other team with something to prove and pointing listeners to the Bleav in College Football hub for more coverage.
