CBS Sports reporter Brandon Marcello unveiled his Way-Too-Early Top 25 College Football rankings for the 2026 season and pegged LSU at No. 14 on the list.
quote:

14. LSU
Lane Kiffin revamped the roster and got his quarterback in Arizona State's Sam Leavitt. The Tigers will win immediately under Kiffin, but let's hold off on the playoff chatter for another year. Several big players from Ole Miss followed Kiffin to Baton Rouge, including his offensive staff. Keeping Blake Baker as defensive coordinator was a big win, too.
Complete Way-Too-Early Top 25:
1. Ohio State
2. Texas
3. Georgia
4. Oregon
5. Notre Dame
6. Texas A&M
7. Texas Tech
8. Indiana
9. Michigan
10. Oklahoma
11. USC
12. BYU
13. Miami
14. LSU
15. Alabama
16. Louisville
17. Missouri
18. Utah
19. Washington
20. Ole Miss
21. Houston
22. Penn State
23. SMU
24. Virginia Tech
25. South Carolina

Others considered: Arizona State, Boise State, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Oklahoma State

I'm not buying Indiana yet. I need to see that they can continue to win with a new QB.

These click bait articles are worthless this time of year. Consistently wrong every year.

I like it. Gives Kiffin "chip on the shoulder" material to work with.

Predictions are meaningless. They Clemson, Penn Sate, and Texas as top 5 in 2025.
