Last Call | Jake Coker Reacts to Ole Miss Tampering Bombshell & College Football Playoff Expansion

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down some of the biggest storylines shaking up college football and the SEC. Should the College Football Playoff expand from 12 teams to 16 — or even 24? Coker explains why a 16-team playoff could benefit the SEC, while the guys discuss Greg Sankey’s pushback on a larger field, the future of the SEC Championship Game, and whether television networks are influencing the expansion debate. Then, the conversation turns to the explosive Ole Miss–Clemson tampering investigation. After Dabo Swinney publicly accused Ole Miss and Pete Golding of improper contact involving a Clemson player, the NCAA now faces a major credibility test. Could the new transfer-tampering penalties lead to a head-coach suspension and a massive financial penalty? Plus, Jake and Mick debate Ole Miss’s historical place in the SEC and preview one of the most personal games of the 2026 season: Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford as LSU’s head coach to face Ole Miss. Topics include: College Football Playoff expansion, SEC football, Jake Coker, Alabama football, Ole Miss football, Clemson football, Pete Golding, Dabo Swinney, Lane Kiffin, LSU football, NCAA tampering rules and the SEC Championship Game. 👍 Like the video, subscribe to The Next Round, and let us know in the comments: Should college football move to a 16-team playoff, a 24-team playoff, or stay at 12? #JakeCoker #CollegeFootball #SECfootball #OleMiss #ClemsonFootball #DaboSwinney #PeteGolding #CFPExpansion #CollegeFootballPlayoff #LaneKiffin #LSUFootball #AlabamaFootball #TheNextRound #NCAAFootball #transferportal SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Brooks Carter: /BrooksACarter Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.
