The SEC holds the line — CFP expansion, coaching heat, and Jeremiah Smith's case for #1

Greg Sankey left the SEC’s five-day spring meetings in Destin without a vote on CFP expansion, cementing the conference as the lone Power 4 holdout against a 24-team field — while Big 12 coaches voted unanimously in favor and the Cruz-Cantwell Protect College Sports Act passed without Sankey’s signature. Inside the SEC, Kirby Smart openly floated a full NCAA breakaway and Florida’s AD called it “draconian.” On the 2027 Draft front, Todd McShay called Jeremiah Smith “one of one in the entire class,” two scout-sourced boards placed him at #1 over Arch Manning, and Brent Sobleski projected the first all-QB top-5 in NFL history. The season TV schedule release confirmed five new head coaching debuts in the first three weeks, led by Lane Kiffin’s LSU opener against Clemson on September 5.

100 days out: LSU's all-in bet, the money-first recruiting era, and the 2027 Draft board taking shape

The May 18–25 week marks college football's traditional "100-day countdown" moment. LSU leads the finalized transfer portal rankings with the nation's No. 1 class under Lane Kiffin — whose most important move was landing OT Jordan Seaton, not QB Sam Leavitt — while Brendan Sorsby's Texas Tech future is in serious jeopardy due to an NCAA gambling investigation. ESPN documents how official visits have become contract-signing events. The Big Ten's self-governance push and 24-team CFP debate both intensified this week. On the Draft front, three boards published this week sharply disagree: the consensus has Arch Manning #1, but Jacob Infante slots him at #13 while putting Jeremiah Smith first — and Missouri's Ahmad Hardy, a projected first-rounder, had his 2026 season put in jeopardy by a shooting.
