Although the 2017 season has not completely come to an end, Sporting News is getting a headstart by releasing their preseason Top 25 rankings for 2018.

The website ranked LSU in the middle of the pack at No. 13. Here's what they had to say about the Tigers:

quote:
13. LSU Tigers
Ed Orgeron kept the Tigers moving in the right direction in 2017, and the quarterback competition between Myles Brennan and Lowell Narcisse will be the focus of the offseason. The Tigers play Miami at Jerry World in the opener and have crossover games against Florida and Georgia in consecutive weeks. We'll know enough about this team before Alabama comes to Baton Rouge on Nov. 3.

Complete Preseason Top 25 For 2018:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Georgia
4. Ohio State
5. Oklahoma
6. Wisconsin
7. Miami

I like that starting spot

Nix to Twillie•100 months

Same place we started in 2003 after a disappointing finish in 2002. “Hope and pray.”

luciouslou•100 months

A & m top 25? Do what

Lexman1•100 months

The Fisher factor. Hopefully, it will be the same as the Sumlin sample.

Geauxin off•100 months

We comin.....and we ain't backing down. YABBA DABBA DOOOO

Black n Gold•100 months

No shortage of perennial powers in that Top 15.

LSUBlitzkrieg•100 months

It seems like we have been preseason ranked between 11-13 for the last 5 years.

Lexman1•100 months

I think we have. Just got to get over that hump. No shortage of top teams on the schedule. Win and move up quickly!

Lsu101205•100 months

Literally always too early for a preseason poll....

No polls until October.

luciouslou•100 months

We comin

FLTech•100 months

UCF National Champions ranked 21 haha

ColoBama•100 months

"Never too early for a preseason poll... or is it?" -- only if you're in the playoffs is it too soon :-)

KennabraTiger•100 months

Too high

SoulGlo•100 months

You mean the Rantards' falling sky isn't falling?

Nix to Twillie•100 months

A way too early preseason poll by one publication has you convinced?

GoneFishing21•100 months

It means other people can look at it objectively without assuming the worst after every little thing. Of course it doesn’t mean we will be ranked there at the end of the season

TheWalrus•100 months

Overrated as usual

Shooter•100 months

I hate fans with a loser mentality!

GoneFishing21•100 months

How will you know if they are overrated right now? You don’t even know what offense we will be running or who will step up on offense or defense.

LSU FSU Grad•100 months

Only their fans hate LSU.

lsusportsman2•100 months

How the hell do they have us ranked let alone 13? Hahahaha

GoneFishing21•100 months

Because some people can think objectively instead of emotionally, maybe?

Rickdaddy4188•100 months

objectively?
we just had the easiest schedule in over 2 decades and lost 4 games. we have nothing but inexperience on offense learning another system. people like gone fishing are the reason our clown ad thought it was ok to make the most unqualified hires in big 6 history. vandy wouldnt have ed orgeron as a dc candidate

GoneFishing21•100 months

People like Rickdaddy are why people laugh at our fan base. The fact is that I did not support the O hire and him being hired has nothing to do with me or people like me. The fact is we should have beaten Bama and should have beaten Notre Dame. People like you like to go around saying just how far away from being relevant we are. Other people don’t assume the worst constantly. The fact is that every time LSU shows up to play, the opposing team and fans fear that they will lose, regardless of what people like you say.
