One game from a national title. The Demon Deacons ran roughshod over the ACC and reload with enough returning talent to make another run.

BSI Outlook
Defending national champions lost key pieces but Skenes returns. Tommy White continues to mash. This is still LSU — they'll be in the conversation come May.
BSI Verdict
Both squads are Omaha Favorite tier. This one comes down to matchups and who peaks in June.
