How many of LSU’s 2022 opponents are in ESPN’s way too early top 25?

Looking at the way-too-early ranked teams on the LSU schedule in 2022.

Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M sits fourth in ESPN’s ranking. The win over Alabama in October was the biggest win of Jimbo Fisher’s tenure there and he’s now had time to accumulate talent.

A lot of LSU fans will roll their eyes at the Aggies being this high. They haven’t proven they can be a legitimate title contender yet and they always lose a couple of games they shouldn’t.

A&M will have talent all over, especially in the trenches, where it matters. How good they really are will depend on their quarterback play. It’s been a while since Fisher has had elite play at that position, so it’s a fair question.

LSU doesn’t play Texas A&M until the last week of the season. So much will change between now and then, but A&M could be a heavy favorite in College Station.
