Matt Bush-USA TODAY Sports

LSU landed at No. 12 is Sporting News’ Preseason Top 25, which was released this week. Here is what they had to say about the Tigers in 2016.

quote:
The pressure is on Les Miles, and he knows it. The Tigers brought in Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, and LSU has nine starters returning on both sides of the ball. Heisman contender Leonard Fournette is the centerpiece, but the Tigers need more from quarterback Brandon Harris. Ole Miss and Alabama both visit Tiger Stadium this year. Miles is working with another roster flush with future NFL talent. He needs to deliver this time.

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Oklahoma
4. Ohio State
5. Baylor
6. Florida State
7. Ole Miss
8. Michigan
9. Stanford

17. Iowa
18. North Carolina

Rankings are for kids, you silly posters...winning on the field is the only thing that matters...

So we have 9 starters returning on both sides of the ball, a heisman contender at RB and a roster flush with future NFL talent, but he ranks us at #12? Does not make sense.

Ole Miss 7!!what a joke!

SirWinston•96 months

Lofty prediction, mates :cheers:

LOL. They have no clue.

LetGeauxMyEggo•96 months

For a team returning some 18 starters and depth for days 12 seems a bit

genuineLSUtiger•96 months

We finish number fifteen with a trip to the Camping World Bowl in Orlando.

It's a preseason poll. Relax. What matters is where we rank at the end of the season. The goal is to be in the playoffs. We get there and we just might be looking at a shiny new trophy in LSUs trophy case.

But didn't you hear? It's up to us, the fans on a sports message board, to help the team be ranked higher. If we criticize anything as less than perfect then we're hurting our preseason ranking by influencing voters!

Datbayoubengal•96 months

Ohio State, Baylor, Ole Miss, and Michigan St being ahead of LSU is the dumbest sh** I've seen recently.

little billy•96 months

Houston at 14 and Texas A&M unraked is great.

brlsu1988•96 months

Michigan St final game along with 10 starters returning must be why they are ranked so high.

Baylor got raped on these rankings.

Lacour•96 months

It's going to be the same thing as every year. Then there will be the cry of "we are too young" The Cub fans are made fun of for a reason.

Tiger Nation 84•96 months

Way to have faith

Barbellthor•96 months

It won't be the same because there will not be cries of "we are too young" because we will not be too young. Some players actually returned. Feels weird.

timm6971463•96 months

There is a warmish place waiting for you Les Miles haters !

Solo Cam•96 months

It's also moist. Tell Mrs. Timm6971463 thanks for that thing she did with her tongue.

timm6971463•96 months

I can say this very truthfully about the negatigers who think their criticism some how helps the team, in the real world you give our enemies ammunition, in this case lower rankings which play to the seasonal ending rankings !

Nix to Twillie•96 months

The fact that some people still believe that a team thrives or struggles based solely on the opinions of its fans is so stupid I don't know where to begin. Forget the end of last season, forget persistent QB issues, forget the lackluster 2015 defense, nope-it's all a message board's fault. I mean Wow.

Nix to Twillie•96 months

"think their criticism some how helps the team" Not a soul has ever thought this ever.

AlabamasSalaryCap•96 months

fair

Rickdaddy4188•96 months

Ole miss lost everyone of their top players and they are 7?

Mr_Coach Klein•96 months

Based on talent we're easily top 5. But I agree with their assessment, though we should be top 10.

Solo Cam•96 months

Terrible ranking but I agree with our analysis.
