The College Football Playoff run at Ole Miss is colliding head-on with the opening of the transfer portal — and LSU is right in the middle of it.
Six LSU assistants have been working double duty, coaching Ole Miss through its CFP run while officially preparing to join Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge. Now, with the Rebels advancing to the semifinals and the portal officially open, both programs are getting uneasy. LSU needs its coaches back in Baton Rouge to recruit and stabilize the 2026 roster, while Ole Miss is growing increasingly concerned about tampering and divided loyalties.
We share inside information on the growing tension between the two schools, examine what options are realistically on the table for both sides, and explain why this situation may be reaching a breaking point sooner rather than later.
Plus, we recap Day 1 of the transfer portal, including Cincinnati quarterback Brendan Sorsby scheduling a visit to LSU. Could he be Lane Kiffin’s first major portal splash at quarterback? We break down the fit, the upside, and what it would mean for LSU’s offense moving forward.
CFP chaos, portal madness, and behind-the-scenes drama — it’s all here.
