Lane Kiffin’s LSU Shakeup Could REDEFINE College Football Eligibility--Will Tigers Make the Playoff?

LSU has added another player to their roster who was most recently with an NFL team. Lane Kiffin is among the top villains in college football this year, and this only adds to that status.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On SEC' host Chris Gordy discuss Aaron Philo and Keelon Russell being named the starters at Florida and Alabama. They're coming into VERY different levels of pressure.

Minnesota has been a model of consistency under PJ Fleck during his tenure. Will they me a staple of the middle of the Big 10 once again in 2026?
