After signing Leavitt and some coming OLs we will be ranked in 2026 projections as 6-8th . I also think we may be a great candidate for Garme Day #1 against Clemson . Add in the Kiffin story line with a night game and you have a the best gumbo served opening the season .

OP did not say ranked #1, but I also do not agree with #6-8 after the 7-6 season.

We're obviously 8 months out, but I don't think there are many other potential matchups as intriguing as LSU v Clemson in week 1.

Other possibilities:

UCLA at Cal
Tulane at Duke
Louisville v. Ole Miss (is it on Sunday? Also, I imagine LSU at Ole Miss week 3 is too tempting for gameday)
Boise St at Oregon

Still too high.

I did mess up and read him saying we were going to be ranked #1 against clemson, not that we would be the #1 choice

Just food for thought, we were unranked to start the season in 2022 after finishing 6-7 in 2021, had a great portal class, and made a big splash HC hire (on paper)

Pump the brakes. We were ranked 1 in the portal last year too. I’m much more comfortable with this staff but we have no idea at this point what this team will look like.

I think Gameday is certainly a possibility, all other possibilities I will refrain from comment on right now

I think we will be surprisingly competitive but will be lucky to be in the top 20 to start off.

Pretty much a guarantee. The only other game really worth seeing is FSU vs Alabama. (Florida Auburn will be a good game, but probably not much national interest).

Pretty much all the other schools like OSU, Michigan, Indiana, etc play scrubs.

we will ranked like #15-#20 and based on our records last year, LSU Clemson will be a prime time game but NOT gameday.

I think we'll be ranked 10-12 or somewhere around there.
