7. LSU: If the Tigers solve their quarterback quandary, they could contend in the SEC West and maybe even for a College Football Playoff spot. With the core of a strong defense and star running back Leonard Fournette returning, the rest of the roster looks that good. If Anthony Jennings or Brandon Harris can’t turn LSU’s passing game into more of a threat, LSU could wind up in the middle of the pack again this fall.
