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 Air Max 270 Black And Orange . 9.

It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night.

Too many cooks spoil the broth and in the end it was chef Robbie Farah who had to be kicked out of the kitchen.Thats how coach Jason Taylor explains his controversial decision to drop the club veteran and NSW hooker to reserve grade for this weekend.Taylor indicated he felt Farahs game was incompatible with playmaking young guns Luke Brooks, Mitchell Moses and fullback James Tedesco and that forced his hand.Weve got too many cooks spoiling the broth, Taylor said on Thursday.Its purely based on that. Robbie Farah is the NSW State of Origin hooker, hes a Wests Tigers great, hes a great player but its just not working for us at the moment in regards to the cohesion of our team.Im still not comfortable with where we are on the ladder (11th, 7-10).In my opinion we should be further up with the squad weve got and Ive been brought here to get this team going in the right direction and tough decisions need to be made.Instead of turning out the Tigers in the NRL clash with St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium on Sunday, Farah will play for their reserve grade side against Newtown Jets at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday afternoon.Taylor said after analysing the teams performances over the last seven games - five of which Farah missed due to Origin duties - he came to the decision they were a betteer outfit with the 247-game veteran on the sidelines.ddddddddddddWe had a good discussion, we went through some games and some examples of what were talking about, Taylor said.Robbies very disappointed and Ive had a chat to him this morning and his attitude is hes going to get on with it and hes going to do it with a smile on his face.Taylor denied he was incapable of working with Farah, or that he was trying to force the Blues No.9 out of the club, despite Farah claiming after last season hed been told to find a new club or face being dropped to reserve grade.The former Tigers skipper has one more year left on his contract, said to be worth about $1 million.The club had planned celebrations for Farahs 250-game milestone against North Queensland in round 22 but those have been thrown into disarray.Taylor said it was important to take the emotion out of any selection decision, especially with a top eight spot on the line for the rest of the year.Robbies got a contract for next season so were expecting him to be here, Taylor said.Robbie will be considered for selection every week. Well get through this weekends game and well assess how this decision went. ' ' '
