ESPN Ranks LSU High In 2015 Preseason FPI

ESPN has ranked LSU No. 3 in their 2015 Preseason FPI. The FPI ranking is "designed to predict how strong each team will be this coming season."

---

FPI is an estimate of team strength – not a ranking of who will have the highest win total (which is dependent on schedule) and not who is most likely to make the College Football Playoff. Preseason FPI is calculated using three major components for each FBS team: prior years’ offense, defense and special teams efficiencies; returning starters and head coach information; and recruiting rankings.
