5. LSU Tigers
2024 SEC Record: 5-3
This has to be the year for LSU. The Tigers finally have all the pieces they need to have a great year under head coach Brian Kelly, and that is reflected in their top 10 preseason ranking.
But can Kelly actually get it done this season?
There is a ton of pressure on LSU to win big this season, and if they don't then Kelly could be looking for a new job this offseason. But as mentioned, LSU has all the talent they'll need to be able to compete for an SEC and National Championship.
Kelly however hasn't proven that he is able to win the big game and bring a championship home throughout his career, so it is hard to believe he magically will figure it out this season. But LSU does have a chance to prove what they are made of as they open their season on the road at Clemson this season.
