7. LSU

Last Season: 10-3 (5-3)

The Good: There is always talent in Baton Rouge. After every season, the Tigers lose a small army to the NFL, and yet they always seem to find enough replacements to challenge for the conference championship. This year appears to be no different, as LSU welcomes back an athletic bunch on defense, a solid offensive line, and many gifted freshmen.

The Bad: As much talent as there may be on offense, the team must find a way to replace the most productive quartet in the SEC from last season. Never in school history had LSU featured a 3,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers, but all are now gone to the NFL.

The Ugly: The Tigers could start a true freshman at quarterback, running back and wide receiver. Yes, Brandon Harris, Leonard Fournette and Malachi Dupre could be great in time, but you never want to force such young players to carry such a heavy load.
