Summary
The SEC continues to face legal turmoil as a Texas judge grants over 40 players—some NFL rookies—a temporary reprieve in the ongoing pro player eligibility battle. Will Commissioner Greg Sankey and the conference hold their ground, or will state-by-state court challenges upend college football’s roster rules just days before the season kicks off? Chris Gordy is joined by On3’s JD Pickell to break down the fallout for SEC programs, heated debates around Lane Kiffin and LSU’s aggressive portal moves, and the mounting pressure on Steve Sarkisian at Texas amid “all-in” expectations. And Pickell makes his shocking picks for play for the SEC Championship. And he has an SEC team in the Natty. The Locked On Top 100 players list spotlights standouts like Dylan Stewart, Arch Manning, Kewan Lacy, and Trinidad Chambliss. Plus, who are the SEC’s most intriguing new quarterbacks and which fresh head coaches—Lane Kiffin at LSU or Alex Golesh at Auburn—are primed to make immediate noise? Get ready for Week 0 with insights on rising stars and dark horse Heisman contenders.
