No. 4 Florida State | No. 6 Ohio State | Top 25No. 5: LSULast Season: 9-3?(5-3 SEC West)It was a tale of two seasons for the 2015 LSU Tigers: a 7-0 start and a top-four rank, then three straight losses by a combined 52 points. This season, with 17 starters back and a new D-coordinator in Dave Aranda (No. 1 FBS defense the past three years at Wisconsin), LSU, on paper, should rebound. The Tigers have my No. 2-ranked D this year: my top D-backs (TreDavious White and Jamal Adams) and my eighth-ranked linebackers (Arden Key had nine QB hurries in 15). Putting up points isnt a problem either -- they averaged 32.8 per game last season and return Heisman front-running RB Leonard Fournette (1,953 yards), two NFL-caliber wideouts in 6-3 Malachi Dupree and 6-2 Travin Dural and my No. 5-rated O-line. I have LSU favored in 10 games, with just two toss-ups, vs. Alabama and at Arkansas.IN IF... It holds home field. The Tigers host Ole Miss and Alabama in Death Valley, so the SEC West will be theirs to lose. The West, by the way, has won seven straight SEC titles, a playoff-ticket puncher.OUT IF... The D doesnt return to form. LSU allowed 24.3 ppg last year (10th in the SEC) -- the first time outside the SECs top four since 2008.LSUs chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Wisconsin (Lambeau Field): 84.5% 09.10 vs. Jacksonville State: 98.8% 09.17 vs. Mississippi State: 88.6% 09.24 @ Auburn: 71.2% 10.01 vs. Missouri: 94.3% 10.08 @ Florida: 72.4% 10.15 vs. Southern Mississippi: 98.2% 10.22 vs. Ole Miss: 73.5% 11.05 vs. Alabama: 65.7% 11.12 @ Arkansas: 77.2% 11.19 vs. South Alabama: 99.5% 11.24 @ Texas A&M: 67.4%The Tigers might be the SECs most talented team with the countrys best player in Leonard Fournette, but with questions remaining in the passing game and the possibility of last years late-season drama with Les Miles seeping into the season, LSU is headed for back-to-back 9-3 seasons.?-- Edward AschoffThe Tigers have a boatload of talent -- most notably the best running back in college football, Fournette -- and a revamped 3-4 defense led by new coordinator Dave Aranda. A 10-2 record is within reach, but the Tigers are aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff -- and thats a reasonable goal with this roster.?-- David ChingThe best player in college football is in the backfield, but can Brandon Harris complete enough passes to get them to the playoff? I think so. And I think the defense under Arandas watch is going to be scaaaary as the Tigers go 11-1.?-- Sam Khan Jr.By most teams standards, 10-2 would be a terrific year. At LSU, it will likely be a disappointment as they come up just short to Alabama in the SEC West again.?-- Greg OstendorfHarris will be better, but not by enough to make the offense what it needs to be to unseat Alabama. Fournette will earn a trip to the Heisman Trophy ceremony and LSU will finish 10-2.?-- Alex ScarboroughNo. 4 Florida State | No. 6 Ohio State | Top 25 Adidas Superstar Womens Australia .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does.

Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. Melbourne fans could catch a glimpse of the Demons forward line of the future on Saturday, with prized recruit Sam Weideman set to line up alongside young star Jesse Hogan.Weideman, the grandson of Collingwood great Murray Weideman, was the ninth overall pick at last years national draft, coach Paul Roos confirming on Thursday he would make his AFL debut against Hawthorn at the MCG.The Demons have high hopes the 195cm prospect will partner Hogan in attack for years to come, but of more immediate concern for Roos is the fitness of Hogan, who suffered a heavy knock to a knee after clattering into a point post in last weeks thrilling two-point win over Gold Coast.Hes progressing ... the plan will be to name him then jog him on (Friday) morning - the expectations are that hell play, but theres a little bit of water to go under the bridge yet, Roos said.I dont think well leave it until Saturday morning, hes still a young player.The next hurdle will be iff he doesnt feel great in the warm-up but I suspect if he gets through (Fridays fitness test) he should be fine.ddddddddddddWith just four games left in his coaching tenure, Roos has the chance to rid the Demons of another unwanted hoodoo.Melbourne have broken lengthy losing streaks at Etihad Stadium and against Carlton, Collingwood and Geelong under Roos watch and will be looking to snap a 13-game losing run against the Hawks.Theyre still the benchmark team, theyre two games clear on top of the ladder, Roos said.I think theres excitement (amongst our players) on the back of last weeks win - it was really important to get our eighth win.So there is excitement but you hope it translates ... youve got to understand the quality of the opposition - that excitement can change pretty quickly if we dont get off to a good start.
