What chance does ESPN's FPI give LSU football of winning the SEC in 2025?
The Tigers' chances rank No. 6. Reigning conference champion Georgia is second with a 26.9% chance behind Texas, which is at 34.1%.
We'll get a good idea of where LSU stands among the nation's best teams early in the 2025 season. The Tigers open on the road at Clemson in week one against an explosive offense and defense loaded with NFL talent.
By mid-October, LSU could have four ranked matchups under its belt. It welcomes Florida and South Carolina to Baton Rouge in weeks three and seven, respectively, and travels to Ole Miss in week five.
LSU brought in the nation's top transfer portal class following the 2024 season and addressed its biggest needs, particularly at defensive back, edge rusher and wide receiver. Head coach Brian Kelly's staff also retained key returners, such as quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and linebacker Whit Weeks.

Paramount Snatches $7.7B UFC Deal--Shakes Up Streaming's Fight for Subscribers
Paramount (NASDAQ:PSKY) is making its biggest sports rights bet yet. The company has signed a seven-year, $7.7 billion agreement to become the exclusive U.S. home for all Ultimate Fighting Championship events, a move designed to give Paramount+ a year-round sports anchor. Beginning next year, the platform will stream all 13 numbered UFC events and 30 additional fight nights annually, with select bouts also airing on CBS. The price tag works out to roughly $1.1 billion per yearmore than double what TKO Group Holdings was getting from Walt Disney's ESPNand Paramount has indicated it may look to secure international rights when they come up for grabs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with PSKY. The strategy marks a significant shift in UFC's distribution model. Instead of charging fans both a subscription fee and pay-per-view pricing, Paramount will make all events available to Paramount+ subscribers at no additional cost. By adding a sport with a consistent, year-round schedule, Paramount+ could improve retention during quieter months for its existing sports lineup, which already includes the NFL, college football, golf, and soccer. The UFC is a unicorn sports asset, said David Ellison, who took control of Paramount last week, noting that no other platform will have a sport of this scale entirely to itself. TKO executives Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro had been shopping UFC's rights throughout the year, with interest from Amazon, YouTube, Warner Bros. Discovery, Fox, and Netflix. ESPN had an exclusive window to renew but let it lapse, clearing the way for Paramount's aggressive bid. While the UFC has faced challenges in producing new breakout stars in recent years, its popularity among younger fans and its global appeal were enough to secure a rights deal that represents a major step-up in value.
