College Football 1 SEC roster deadlines loom as programs consider adding former NFL players, class of 2022 recruits While all eyes are on LSU this week, the bigger story is spreading across the rest of the SEC. Multiple programs are exploring the possibility of adding former NFL players and 2022 recruits to their rosters before the 2026 season kicks off, Pete Nakos reports.   The timeline is tight. SEC rosters must be finalized and submitted to the league office 24 hours before kickoff, and only athletes currently enrolled at a university can be added after that roster is sent in. That's forcing programs into a scramble to figure out who they can add and how fast.   LSU remains the epicenter. Lane Kiffin confirmed Monday that former Cleveland Browns and Ole Miss tight end Dae'Quan Wright and former Notre Dame edge rusher Junior Tuihalamaka have already been practicing with the Tigers as they pursue a fifth season of eligibility through a Louisiana lawsuit against the NCAA and SEC. A preliminary injunction hearing will take place today, and the judge's ruling could determine whether players like Wright make LSU's final roster.   Complicating matters, a South Carolina judge denied several former college players a temporary restraining order against the NCAA on Tuesday, a sign that clearing legal hurdles before roster deadlines won't be simple. The SEC, for its part, is holding firm on its new rule barring former NFL players from returning, with penalties ranging from coaching suspensions and fines to lost voting privileges, and sources say expulsion or a boycott of a member school hasn't been ruled out.   "It's an absolute mess," one SEC head coach told On3 earlier this week. "We play football [this weekend]. I don't even have time to think about adding a player." FULL STORY FROM PETE NAKOS → College Football 2 College football predictions: Andy Staples’ best trades of Week 1 After going 2-1 in Week 0, Andy Staples is back with his Week 1 predictions. And after going 68-59-3 last season, he's ready for a slate loaded with big spreads and coaches who barely know what they have yet. Among the calls: a pick on Colorado at Georgia Tech, a stance on Baylor-Auburn in Atlanta, and a number he's sticking with in Clemson at LSU despite all the roster drama swirling around the Tigers. See all 9 picks against the spread, plus the punishment that co-host Ari Wasserman could be on the hook for if one prediction doesn't hold. PICKS FROM ANDY STAPLES → College Football 3 Kane Wommack spent two years building toward this version of his Alabama defense Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack thinks he finally has the pieces to play the way he wants after landing two massive transfer additions up front. The 38-3 playoff beatdown by Indiana exposed a real problem in the trenches, and Wommack didn't hold back on what it taught him about the state of his defensive line. With one of the best secondaries in the country returning and a new wrinkle borrowed from conversations with Nick Saban, Wommack believes this defense is ready to "find a swagger" against East Carolina.
