Trey is worried about what's going to happen to Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence once he leaves the cocoon of college football, especially if it's the hapless New York Jets who get their hands on him. So he calls up CBSSports' Kevin Boilard to ease some concerns. Who's tanking the hardest for Trevor? Would he be No. 1 for every team? Could he pull an Eli and refuse to play somewhere? If it's the Jets, what's the path forward?

Like many of his Miami teammates in the 2000s, D.J. Williams departed Miami as a national champion, an All-American and a first-round pick. That era of college football is long gone. So far gone, in fact, that Miami has not won a conference championship since it was in the old Big East. But could The U finally be on its way back to the top of CFB's food chain? This weekend's clash with No. 1 Clemson will be telling — not just for the result, but for whether the Canes play with any of their iconic swagger, D.J. tells Trey Scott.
