Yahoo Sports Updates Preseason Top 25 Without Big Ten, PAC-12 Teams

Sam Cooper and Nick Bromberg of Yahoo Sports updated their preseason college football Top 25 without the Big Ten and Pac-12 team that won't be playing this season and pegged LSU at No. 5.

Here's what they had to say about the Tigers:

5. LSU
We know who’s gone from LSU’s record-setting offense. Let’s talk about who’s here. Ja’Marr Chase may not put up the numbers he did in 2019 but he’s still one of the best receivers in college football. JaCoby Stevens is a top-tier safety and Derek Stingley Jr. is just a sophomore but could be the best cornerback in the country. Myles Brennan won’t come close to doing what Joe Burrow did last year, but he should be more than a serviceable starting quarterback after three seasons on campus, including two as Burrow’s top backup.
