SEC football media poll drops. Where does LSU football rank?

LSU football is projected to finish fourth in the SEC media title poll, released Friday.

Texas led the way, followed by Georgia, Alabama, LSU, and South Carolina to round out the top five. The Bulldogs and Longhorns finished first and second, respectively, last season.

The Tigers return quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, running back Caden Durham, and a core of defensive leaders from last season. The pair, along with linebackers Whit Weeks and Harold Perkins, earned preseason All-SEC honors from the AP.

Head coach Brian Kelly’s staff brought in the top transfer portal class of the 2025 cycle following a win over Baylor in the Texas Bowl. By reforming the wide receiver and defensive end rooms in particular, the Tigers are primed to make a run at the SEC title.

Texas, Georgia, and Alabama all field first-time starters at quarterback in 2025. The Longhorns’ Arch Manning is already generating Heisman Trophy and NFL Draft buzz.
