We are less than three weeks away from the LSU Tigers kicking off the 2023 college football season!
But until we get there, it is still talkin' season, rankings season, and prediction season, and we are now in the peak of prediction season as the first AP Poll of the season has been released. Reigning national champion Georgia Bulldogs top the list, which should come at no surprise to any college football fan, while the Michigan Wolverines, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Alabama Crimson Tide round out the top four. But where do the LSU Tigers fall in the preseason AP Poll? Do we agree? What does that mean for the expectations of this team and how will Brian Kelly manage those expectations coming off of a season in which the Tigers had no expectations in his first season?
Plus the Tigers' first opponent of the season, the Florida State Seminoles, join the Tigers in the top ten in the AP Poll. Does that change our perception of the magnitude of the first game of the season? Can either team's hopes for the College Football Playoff survive a loss in Week 1?
