Believe it or not, college football is less than 45 days away, so it's time to get ready for spate of preseason football polls. And in an early poll released Tuesday, it looks like Les Miles' LSU Tigers will once again be in the thick of the national championship battle...but so will defending champ Alabama.

In the highly respected Phil Steele Preseason Top 25, the Tigers are ranked No. 4.

Four other SEC teams make the list, including the Crimson Tide Alabama at No. 2, Tennessee (7), Ole Miss (17) and Georgia (23).

Florida State gets the preseason nod at No. 1 spot in the poll, Oklahoma comes in at No. 3 and Clemson Tigers are ranked No. 5.
