SEC Conference Call with Chris Marler

The LSU-Ole Miss game somehow took an even weirder turn as star pass rusher Princewill Umanmielen was served papers on Wednesday morning at LSU's facilities for $550K he owes Ole Miss from a signed contract. We talk about that PLUS one thing we want to see from every SEC team in their games this weekend.

Is it already time to PANIC for some teams around the SEC? Week 2 of the college football season is here, and the SEC has several games that could completely change how we view the conference. On today’s SEC Conference Call with Chris Marler, Chris breaks down the biggest games, storylines and potential upset spots across the SEC heading into Week 2. 🏈 Alabama travels to Kentucky for its first SEC road test. The Crimson Tide showed some flaws in Week 1, while Kentucky and QB Kenny Minchey could be much more dangerous than people expected. 🐶 Mississippi State heads to Minnesota as a slight underdog. After a huge debut from QB Kamario Taylor, Anthony Evans and J.J. Hill, could the Bulldogs pull off one of the SEC’s most important wins of the weekend? 🔥 Missouri-Kansas renews the Border War, and while Mizzou enters as the favorite, a loss to its biggest rival could become one of the SEC’s first major black eyes of 2026. 🍊 Tennessee visits Georgia Tech, where Chris sees an opportunity for the Vols to make another statement after Georgia Tech's offensive struggles. Plus, we look at the massive national games involving Texas vs. Ohio State, Oklahoma vs. Michigan and Texas A&M vs. Arizona State, along with the rest of the SEC Week 2 slate. And finally… What is going on with Ryan Williams? The Alabama star receiver had another pair of drops in Week 1 after leading the SEC in drops last season. Williams still finished with five catches for 130 yards, but is this becoming a legitimate problem — especially with Alabama also trusting him as its primary punt returner? Chris breaks down whether it's time to worry about Williams or whether we're already overreacting after one week.

Could LSU actually be KICKED OUT of the SEC?

What started as a bizarre eligibility fight between LSU and the Southeastern Conference has suddenly escalated into something almost unimaginable.

On this episode of SEC Conference Call with Chris Marler, Chris reacts to reports that SEC university presidents are scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss potential sanctions against LSU — including the possibility of expelling LSU from the SEC altogether.

According to the reporting discussed on the show, only 11 of the SEC's 16 schools would need to support expulsion.

And perhaps the most stunning detail? One official reportedly described the SEC presidents as being “out for blood.”

So… is this actually going to happen?Chris breaks down:🏈 Why the SEC-LSU battle has escalated this far

🚨 Whether LSU could legitimately be expelled from the SEC
⚖️ The eligibility and legal fight that started the controversy
👀 Why LSU not rostering the disputed players didn't end the fight
🗳️ Why the SEC presidents — not athletic directors — could determine LSU's future
🤯 What happens to LSU football and other sports if the Tigers are expelled
♟️ Why this could actually be a much bigger power play by the SEC
💰 The SEC's potential attempt to prove it can govern itself without the NCAA
🔥 Why kicking out a founding SEC member would be an unprecedented step
📅 What to watch when SEC leadership meets Thursday

Chris also explains why he believes expelling LSU would be an enormous overreaction, while warning LSU fans that the possibility shouldn't simply be dismissed as an empty threat.

Could one of college football's biggest brands really find itself outside the SEC? And is this fight actually about LSU — or is LSU simply becoming the test case for the SEC's future power over college athletics?
