'GameDay' Headed to Ole Miss for Kiffin's Return to Oxford

LSU and Lane Kiffin will be featured on "College GameDay" in two of the first three weeks of the season.

College GameDay will be broadcasting from three different campuses in the first three shows of the upcoming season, marking a first since 2002. The LSU Tigers and new coach Lane Kiffin are among the marquee games, with the Tigers hosting Clemson on September 5th and Ole Miss on September 19th. Kiffin's return to Oxford, Mississippi, comes as LSU is expected to be a strong contender in the College Football Playoff.

The team's roster has been heavily invested in, with a reported payroll of over $40 million, possibly even reaching over $50 million. Notable additions include quarterback Sam Leavitt from Arizona State and offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the country at over $4 million annually. The high expectations for the team and coach have generated a lot of interest, with College GameDay set to cover the action.
