Not knocking lsu, fsu, or usc just didn't think the season from last year justified this kinda ranking. Tbh Bama is ranked kinda high for us to be starting a new qb.

Are you seeing your team having this kind of season next year? Not trolling btw

LSU had a great season and returns its best playmaker and a LOT of pieces on offense. FSU is good.

Fsu will beat Lsu in a very close game and go on to win the national championship. Jordan Travis will win the Heisman.

Lsu will be very good this year and make the playoffs.

I have no idea, but they absolutely cleaned up in the transfer portal, Travis is a great QB, and if that RB is back they're damn solid. I kinda like them to win the ACC.

That week 1 game worries me, but I'm pretty optimistic for LSU's offense this year. Secondary flipped a lot though.

It’s kind of odd that LSU took over aggy’s usual #6 spot this year. This may not bode well…..

Will be great to get some new blood in the playoffs to be honest.

If you are talking about Trey Benson he is coming back. The other back Ward transferred to Kansas State.

LSU on offense returns the entire offensive line, while that started the season pretty bad they definitely came around by seasons end. Nabers, Taylor, and Thomas are all back with some really talented freshman coming for the WR room. Also added Aaron Anderson to the WR group. You’ll pretty much see the same stable of RB’s and if Godwin can stay healthy I believe he can take a step forward and be an every down back.

On defense we lose Gaye, Ojalari, Jay Ward and Baskerville. Masson Smith will return for this season. He with Wingo will be hard to handle in the middle. Also added some solid depth through the portal. Depth was a big problem toward the end of the season. Savion Jones returns and he should have a solid season rushing the QB’s. Even though Perkins returns I think the LB’s are a bit weaker than last year. Major Burns and Greg Brooks will be the starting safeties and they had good seasons last year. The CB’s are talented but a little unproven.

Hopefully replacing Polian with a decent ST coach will pay huge dividends. Hard to believe that they could be worse than last season.

I feel like it will rest on Daniels making some improvements in the passing game. If he take a step forward, complete a few deep passes, and let his guys make plays the offense should be fun to watch.

I don’t know that we’re playoff contender but it should be a fun season

Ga 1
Ala 2
Oh St 3

1. Georgia - Honestly I thought the dawgs were ahead of schedule the last 2 years. I was looking forward to this year as being “The Year” Kirby’s best team to date. 3-Peat would incredible, but dang that’s hard!
12-0 (schedule)

2. Michigan- Returns a ton! The have taken over the B10. Probably, likely to make the playoffs for a 3rd year.
12-0

3. Ohio State- Ryan Day has gone over the cliff. CJ Stroud will be impossible to replace in 1 year. I see 3 losses in the regular season and Day on the hot seat in Columbus.
9-3

4. Alabama- I’m not going to say the decline is real, but I do think they have underperformed recently. Neither QB can carry a team like Young has done. I would be surprised if the Tide win the west.
10-2 (at best)

5. Penn State- Trending up, media darling in the B10 right now. A lot back except at QB. James Franklin is such a Jekyll and Hide though. Chance at the playoff though.
11-1

6. LSU- Great coach and a bunch returning. Favorite to win the West. I don’t know I trust J Daniels for a full season though. Early loss to start the season against the Noles.
10-2

7. Florida State- It’s like a whole new team from 2 years ago. Travis is special. Win the ACC likely. Probably has a stumble somewhere. Playoff team likely.
11-1

8. Southern Cal- Offense is the class of college football. Great play caller. Incredible talent at QB and everywhere else. Did the address the D? Probably so. Trip to Ugene between Washington and UCLA in the last 3 weeks could be slippery.
12-0

Playoff Predictions…
Sugar Bowl
1.UGA - SEC Champ vs 4.FSU - ACC Champ

Rose Bowl
2.SC- PAC Champ vs 3.UM- B10 Champ

We will beat Tulane and LSU but lose to the eventual west winner Texas A&M. You heard it here first.
