SEC Football Lead Writer Barrett Sallee with the Bleacher Report released his preseason SEC predictions for the 2016 and says that LSU will finish 5th in the SEC behind Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, and Texas A&M.

SEC West
1. Alabama
2. Ole Miss
3. Auburn
4. Texas A&M
5. LSU
6. Mississippi State
7. Arkansas
"Then there's LSU. The Tigers are essentially a mirror image of what they were last year. The defense should stay elite thanks to returning stars and the arrival of new coordinator Dave Aranda, and the running game is in good hands with Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice. But head coach Les Miles has employed an ultra-conservative offense for nearly a decade and hasn't shown the creativity and flexibility needed to win games 45-42 consistently when Plan A doesn't work. I can't count on that changing this offseason, which is why I have the Tigers tied for third in the SEC West with Auburn and Texas A&M but losing the head-to-head tiebreaker with each to finish fifth."
