CBS college football writer Tom Fornelli has LSU among the six teams he said he'll follow closely this season.
"These are teams I've taken a bit of special interest in heading into the season," Fornelli writes. "Not necessarily teams that are going to win a lot of games and contend for championships, but teams that have piqued my interest for one reason or another."
Fornelli on LSU: "While LSU has been good for the entire 21st century, that doesn't mean it's been all that exciting a team to watch. Yes, it's had terrific players doing incredible things, but on the whole, it's always been kind of boring.
