Georgia:
The most perfectly balanced team on LSU's schedule. These two teams are practically mirrors of each other. Due to having to play in Georgia's doghouse during the day, I say Advantage: Georgia.

Florida:
Florida has a real offensive problem. They just lost their starting QB for the season, and it just may be the best thing to happen for this team. Their backup came in and played phenominally. If he can keep that up, this Florida team that already boasts arguably the best defense in the country may have just found a capable offense (think LSU in 2011 with Jefferson suspended). With LSU playing them in Death Valley, though, I take the Tigers. Advantage: LSU

Alabama:
Alabama put a lot of doubts about their offense to rest against A&M two weeks ago as well as ended any doubts that A&M's defense might not suck. Bama brings in an elite defense and a proven qb is isn't afraid of taking down the Tigers in tough games. However, Alabama's o-line is increadibly suspect and LSU has found a lot of success in Tuscaloosa in recent decades. Advantage: LSU.

Texas A&M:
Johnny Football is the best offensive player in college football. LSU's linebackers will not be able to contain him. LSU's pass rushers will not be able to catch him. But A&M's defense couldn't hold a Pop Warner team to less than 5 touchdowns. If LSU's defense can just hold Manziel a little, LSU's offense should be able to outdistance the Aggies at home in similar fashion to how the Tide fared in College Station. Advantage: LSU.

Ole Miss:
Hugh Freeze's offense looks deadly. After downing the Longhorns in convincing fashion last week, we'll get to see what this Revolution is really made of next Saturday against Alabama. If the Admiral Akbars can hold their own against the tide on both sides of the ball, then this could be the trap game of all trap games for the tigers in Oxford. LSU is a much deeper team and I don't see Ole Miss being able to slow down LSU's offense enough to win. If LSU can outrace A&M, I think they can outdistance this scrappy Ole Mass team in Oxford. Advantage: LSU

Arkansas:
Yes, they suck. Yes, they just lost to Rutgers and are primed to go on a 5 game losing streak. However, they are Arkansas and this game is never easy. It doesn't matter the situation, Arkansas always pushes LSU to the limit (except for 2011). However, the game is at home and LSU has the piggies beat in every measurable catagory so, Advantage: LSU.
