ESPN's actual preseason top 25 for 2015 - LSU 16th...

2014 record: 8-5, 4-4 SEC
Returning starters: 8 offense, 6 defense, 2 special teams
Key personnel losses: OT La'el Collins, C Elliott Porter, DE Jermauria Rasco, S Ronald Martin, DE Danielle Hunter, LB Kwon Alexander, RB Terrence Magee, CB Jalen Collins
The skinny: No FBS program has lost as many underclassmen as LSU the past three seasons, and the Tigers finally felt the effects of the early departures last season. LSU coach Les Miles was able to put together another top-10 recruiting class to refill the cupboard. The Tigers signed nine players who were ranked in the top 10 at their respective positions, including No. 2 cornerback Kevin Toliver II, No. 3 receiver Tyron Johnson and No. 2 guard Maea Teuhema. LSU signed 17 players who are expected to play on offense, including five offensive linemen and four running backs. The Tigers will have new leadership on defense this spring, after former Alabama linebackers coach Kevin Steele was hired as defensive coordinator and former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron was hired as defensive line coach.

People want to up talk the 2013 defense but they did not force many punts. Last year we saw what Chavis was like without the athletes. This year we saw what he was like without the maturity of athletes.

I didn't realize from reading that article how few offensive starters Alabama has returning... The west should be up for grabs this season

So, number 1 in the SEC? Hopefully we can see that again.

Wow. Never thought ESPN would DROP Alabama all the way to 4 after losing all of those players.
