Lane Kiffin and LSU have become the center of the college football world, and The Next Round goes inside Baton Rouge with LSU insider Matt Moscona to break down the Tigers' roster controversy, their season-opening showdown with Clemson and what Kiffin is building in his first season at LSU.

Moscona explains the situation surrounding the former NFL players working with LSU, whether any could actually take the field against Clemson and why Kiffin appears determined to squeeze every possible advantage out of his roster.

The guys also dive into the hype surrounding Sam Leavitt and whether his physical tools could make him one of the most dynamic quarterbacks Kiffin has coached. Plus, how will LSU's revamped offensive line and running game look, and what role could Leavitt's legs play in transforming the Tigers' offense?

Then it's time to preview LSU vs. Clemson in Tiger Stadium, including the atmosphere awaiting Clemson's new starting quarterback and why Moscona believes the ingredients are there for a massive night in Baton Rouge.

Plus, The Next Round runs through the SEC's biggest nonconference games and makes picks for Alabama-Florida State, Auburn-Baylor, Texas-Ohio State, Oklahoma-Michigan, South Carolina-Clemson, LSU-Clemson and more.

And later: Auburn women's basketball searches for male practice players, and Last Chance U legend Buddy Stephens is out at East Mississippi Community College after 17 seasons and five national championships.
