Recent acrimony between LSU and the SEC isn't the only example of college football programs clashing with conferences. Here's some history on it.

The Gingerbread Man crumbled at Texas A&M. The LSU villain froze upon sight of his old team. And the Oklahoma wagon got stuck in a deep rut, again.

It's a twisted tale of grandstanding politicians, colorful characters and college football's most polarizing figure.

LSU coach Lane Kiffin could be risking financial penalties should the SEC rule he violated rules by listing quarterback Sam Leavitt earlier this week as "doubtful" to play Saturday against Ole Miss.

The SEC's injunction hearing against LSU was postponed just hours after the Tigers filled their final roster spots and ended a key dispute.

Things to watch this week in the Southeastern Conference: Game of the week No. 7 LSU (2-0) at No. 8 Ole Miss (2-0), Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC) LSU visits Ole Miss as Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford in one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the season.

LSU president Wade Rousse sent SEC commissioner Greg Sankey a letter, dated Wednesday, to “clear up the allegations against LSU.”

It looks like LSU might be staying in the SEC after all. Conference presidents met Thursday to discuss sanctions for the Baton Rouge powerhouse, up to and including expulsion from the conference after Lane Kiffin and the Tigers moved to add former NFL players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris to the roster.

The AP Poll is out, and Texas remains atop for the second straight week. More surprisingly, the LSU Tigers remain in the top 10 despite their loss to the Ole Miss Rebels.
