6. LSU Tigers
2015 record: 9-3, 5-3 SEC
Returning starters: 9 offense, 9 defense, 1 special teams
Key losses: OT Vadal Alexander, LB Lamar Louis, LB Deion Jones, FS Jalen Mills, OT Jerald Hawkins
Outlook: Stop me if you've heard this question before: Does LSU have a quarterback that is capable of consistently throwing the ball? If the Tigers can upgrade their passing game, they might be one of the top four teams in the country. If not, tailback Leonard Fournette figures to have a sore back again by season's end. LSU coach Les Miles' uncertain job security didn't seem to affect the Tigers on the recruiting trail. They signed the No. 3 class, and 19 of their 23 signees were ESPN 300 selections. Even more important, Miles lured Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Aranda to LSU. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron said he's also staying.
