Expected returning starters: 10 offense, 5 defense, 2 special teams
Expected key losses: WR Kayshon Boutte, CB Jarrick Bernard-Converse, DL Ali Gaye, DL Jaquelin Roy, LB BJ Ojulari, S Jay Ward, CB Mekhi Garner
Expected key additions: CB Denver Harris, WR Aaron Anderson, DT Paris Shand, DT Jalen Lee, DE Bradyn Swinson, DT Jordan Jefferson, WR Shelton Sampson Jr., CB Javien Toviano, CB Zy Alexander
Outlook: After all the concerns about whether former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly would be a good cultural fit at LSU, he proved to be what he has always been -- a good football coach. The Tigers won 10 games, stunned Alabama and captured the SEC West in his first season. Quarterback Jayden Daniels will return, along with all five starting offensive linemen. Receiver Malik Nabers is a future NFL first-round pick after catching 72 passes for 1,017 yards in 2022. The Tigers will have some holes to fill on defense, but the return of defensive tackle Maason Smith from a torn ACL will outweigh any of them. Kelly dipped into the transfer portal to land Shand, Lee and Swinson to give them SEC-like depth on the defensive front. The Tigers open the 2023 season against Florida State in Orlando, and play SEC road games at Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Missouri and Alabama.

FSU is right where they should be
They are the favorites to win the ACC with a loaded roster
I don’t understand why so many of y’all are trying to downplay them.

They finished this year 11th, return a lot of good players, and have a great transfer class. Also, almost every team above them currently is going to lose their quarterback. They are going to be the favorite to win the ACC, and that's probably in line with what Clemson is usually ranked preseason. Not saying I agree with #4, but it doesn't shock me that some writer at ESPN has them ranked top 5

FSU ranked ahead of Alabama? Lol.
Definitely not something anyone has to melt about. LSU will have a top 10 matchup to start the season with all eyes on them being a prime time Sunday matchup again. Perfect way to kick start the season. LSU will be a title contender next year and gets their statement OOC win out of the way early.
