Tier 1: Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia and Oklahoma

Tier 2: Florida, North Carolina, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M

LSU didn't even break the tier 2 category? What gives?

LSU was in the high ceiling low floor tier which makes sense considering they literally went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows all in one calendar year.

This. It’s completely subjective and they aren’t even transparent about what they’re basing their opinion on.

ETA: Now that the link is posted, I see it’s just for this year. Based off of last season, it makes more sense.

Absolute joke putting these ahead of LSU. Compare the national titles since 2000.

ETA: Nvm didn't open link. Just went off what OP posted

Last season was awful + new OC & DC this season, among other new coaching changes. I don't blame them. No signs that we will be much better as of this point in time. Things will change as the off-season progresses and we learn/see more.

We sucked last year and have a lot to prove to get back on top. We need to show stability once we get to top again. No down years

these kinds of things are just click-bait. Utterly irrelevant.

Just win on the field next fall and everything will take care of itself.
