3. LSU Tigers
Preseason ranking: 8

The Tigers spent about $18 million overhauling their roster this past offseason, with much of the investment being spent on defense. The early results were promising in Saturday night's 17-10 victory at No. 4 Clemson. LSU not only snapped its five-game losing streak in season openers, but it did it against the defending ACC champions in a hostile road environment. LSU limited Clemson to only 32 rushing yards and harassed quarterback Cade Klubnik for much of the night. Cornerback Mansoor Delane, a transfer from Virginia Tech, had an interception and received a game ball for his work in the secondary. Along with NC State transfer Tamarcus Cooley and former Houston safety A.J. Haulcy, Delane vastly improved the back end of LSU's defense, which has been the team's trouble spot the past few seasons.
