LSU (9-3, 5-3): LSU needs to reload. It lost its starting quarterback, its starting running back, its two top wide receivers and several members of its defense. This should make its opening game against Wisconsin in Houston, along with its trips to Auburn and Texas A&M, really difficult. The Tigers also travel to the Swamp to take on Florida, and have a huge game against Alabama midway through the season. Star freshman tailback Leonard Fournette better be the real deal.

However, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that you should never bet against the maniacally brilliant mind of Les Miles. LSU is still loaded with talent, and brings in the No. 2 recruiting class in America, according to Rivals. Long story short, we don’t expect LSU to win fewer than eight games for the first time during Miles’ tenure, but we’re not sure the Tigers are national title contenders.
