The LSU football team enjoyed a routine blowout of Mississippi State on Saturday, and what happened the rest of the day helped the Tigers, too. Top teams fell across the SEC and the rest of the country, opening the door for LSU to re-enter the College Football Playoff conversation. We'll discuss the possibilities, starting with talk about whether any (or how many) SEC teams could make the playoff at 9-3, then going through the reasons to hope and reasons still to be skeptical of LSU's ability to get there against the rest of its schedule, starting next weekend at Auburn. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #cfp #collegefootballplayoff #collegefootball #ncaafootball

The LSU football team returns home to face Mississippi State in a crucial game Saturday at Tiger Stadium. It's a must-win if the Tigers want to remain in any semblance of the College Football Playoff hunt, and LSU might be catching a break, as it appears Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor will either miss the game with a toe injury or be limited in the game. As for LSU, they'll need to put a frustrating loss at Kentucky behind them and focus on the stretch run, with the help of ... a pink visiting locker room? We'll explain (and also give our keys to the game and predictions). #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #hailstate #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball

With a couple of days to digest LSU's upset football loss at Kentucky, our LSU Sports Insiders break down the game, both how it happened and how damaging it is for LSU's playoff hopes. We'll also discuss the Tigers' specific woes on the road and the Sam Leavitt roller-coaster experience. In the second half of the show, we'll focus on basketball with SEC Media Days coming up this week. On the LSU men's side, Will Wade is talking a big game about his roster, but it's so in flux that it's hard to tell exactly what it'll look like. Either way, the Tigers might be pretty good. On the women's side, we know LSU will be pretty good; but can they be great? #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #secfootball

The LSU football team travels to take on the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday night in Lexington. It's been a mostly impressive start to the season for the Tigers, but they don't yet have a road win on the résumé. How can they accomplish that this weekend and run their record to 5-1? Our LSU Insiders are here to break the game down, with a look at Kentucky's pass rush and third-down conversion rate. Finally, we'll offer our keys to the game and predictions as well as a quick glance around the SEC this weekend. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #kentucky #kentuckywildcats #bigblue #secfootball #ncaafootball #collegefootball

The LSU Tigers routed McNeese State 63-14 on Saturday night, running their record to 4-1 and racking up 731 yards of offense. It's hard to draw meaningful conclusions from a mismatch, but our LSU Insiders do have a few takeaways, including why Lane Kiffin decided to play Sam Leavitt for a full half and then to keep running plays and gaining yards well after the game was in hand. We also look forward to the next slate of LSU's schedule, starting with next weekend's game at Kentucky, why the running game and defense continue to show positive signs and take a look around the SEC. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The LSU football team faces McNeese State on Saturday in a game the Tigers should win easily. What does that mean for the status of quarterback Sam Leavitt, who is nursing a minor hamstring injury, and other LSU starters? Our LSU Insiders are here to discuss LSU's approach to the game, what we'd like to see from younger players and reserves and how it can set the Tigers up for a three-game run against SEC opponents through the rest of October. We also offer our predictions for the game against the Cowboys.  #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #mcneese #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The LSU football team has finished the first month of its three-month season, and our LSU Insiders are here to discuss how things have changed for the Tigers: What has us more optimistic? What concerns us? And how have expectations changed? We'll also update some of the injuries LSU players suffered in a big win over Texas A&M, recap the biggest play of the game and take stock of the SEC as we set expectations for LSU in October. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #secfootball #sec #aggies #gigemaggies #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

The LSU Tigers welcome the Texas A&M Aggies this weekend in a game that is no longer a battle of top-10 teams, but instead top-25 teams each coming off of a frustrating loss. Our LSU Insiders break down who has the edge when each team has the ball, which mercurial quarterback — Sam Leavitt or Marcel Reed — can avoid mistakes and why this year's Blake Baker defense may finally be able to break its A&M jinx. Finally, we make our picks for what might just be a College Football Playoff elimination game.  #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #texasaggies #texasam #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin

After a close loss in an emotional game at Ole Miss on Saturday night, LSU is left to wonder what went wrong and what comes next. Our LSU Sports Insiders discuss the issues from Saturday night that are red flags, which are more fixable problems and what lies ahead for a Tigers team that still has plenty to play for — starting this weekend against Texas A&M. We also give an injury update on Trey'Dez Green and Dashawn Spears and recap our experiences in Oxford. #lsu #lsufootball #lsutigers #geauxtigers #olemiss #hottytoddy #olemissfootball #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball

The Lane Kiffin Armageddon Showdown Extravaganza™ has finally arrived, as Kiffin and his LSU Tigers are set to face the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night in Oxford, Miss. Kiffin's return to the school he left before the College Football Playoff last season is storyline enough, but we've also got two top-10 teams sporting 2-0 records and harboring early national championship hopes. There's also the added storyline of an injury to LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt, who was listed as "doubtful" on Wednesday's injury report. Do we think Leavitt will play? Is this more gamesmanship from Kiffin?  We'll discuss it all, plus break down the matchups and offer our score predictions.

LSU-Ole Miss week is here, and the LSU Sports Insiders are setting the stage for an epic showdown in Oxford on Saturday. To that end, we take a look back at some positive and some negative from the Tigers' performance against Louisiana Tech last Saturday and talk about what it means for the matchup with the Rebels. Just how good is this defense? What's a good nickname for Trey'Dez Green? And how concerned are you with Sam Leavitt or LSU's running game? We'll tackle those answers and more in this episode. #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #olemiss #hottytoddy #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin #secfootball

The SEC's threat of expelling LSU from the conference appears to have dissipated, with both sides backing off. Having said that, our LSU Insiders are not sure this situation is over and will discuss the possible ways it could go in the future. Meanwhile, on the field, LSU will try to follow up an amazing Week 1 performance when it faces Louisiana Tech. Will lack of focus be an issue? Is LSU going to run up the score whenever possible this year? We'll give our picks for Week 2, as well as preview a huge weekend elsewhere in the SEC.  #lsu #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #sec #ncaafootball #collegefootball #lanekiffin

The drama of LSU's football season just took another twist Tuesday, as the SEC has added to its federal lawsuit against the school by adding a threat of expelling LSU from the conference. T hat comes against the backdrop of the Tigers' seriously impressive sea #son-opening performance against Clemson, a 51-10 thrashing that showed dramatic improvements in the running game and a dominant defense.  Our LSU Insiders will try to make sense of it all and set the stage for the rest of the season on this episode.  #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #seclawsuit #lanekiffin #gregsankey #sec

After a crazy day in a Baton Rouge courtroom, LSU became a defendant in two cases but ultimately received the green light to add players returning from NFL training camps, such as tight end Dae'Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris. Now the decision rests in LSU's hands: Will the Tigers add them to the roster before it plays Clemson on Saturday night? Speaking of which, we do have football to talk about, and we'll give a breakdown of the LSU-Clemson matchup and make our predictions.  #lsu #lsutigers #lsutigersfootball #geauxtigers #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin #clemson

There are still lawsuits and petitions and appeals to figure out in court (and yes, we talk about that, too). But it's game week, and it's time to talk some football. In this episode, our LSU Insiders give picks for: • LSU's 2026 record • LSU's postseason finish • The Tigers' breakout player • Our sleeper SEC team — and which team will underperform • National championship picks #lsu #lsutigers #geauxtigers #lsufootball #sec #secfootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #lanekiffin
