3. LSU
LSU had a great start to 2015 before a disastrous November, but it might have been a year early to discuss them as part of the national title picture. With RB Leonard Fournette leading a number of junior skill position players (QB Brandon Harris and WR Malachi Dupre) combined with young playmakers on defense, this could be LSU’s year to make a run. The defense loses only LB Deion Jones and S/CB Jalen Mills to the NFL while the offense returns all but two starters (OTs Vadal Alexander and Jerald Hawkins).
