ESPN College GameDay

On this episode of the College GameDay Podcast, Dan Wetzel is joined by Ryan McGee and Pat Forde to discuss Trinidad Chambliss pushing back on Lane Kiffin’s comments about recruiting in Oxford, adding yet another layer to what will be a wild scene when LSU visits Ole Miss in week 3.

The guys break down why Kiffin’s exit from Ole Miss still feels so personal, and why LSU-Ole Miss will be the game everyone wants to see. Plus, they draft their must-watch games of the season and close with a look at some of college sports’ strangest national championships -- everything from meat judging, to dairy tasting, skeet shooting and quarter-scale tractor building.
