I think LSU wins vs Fla in red stick but loses in Athens.

If Georgia's defense looks like anything similar to last year's defense LSU is going to run all over them
LSU's only real threat on offense is its running game. Meanwhile, UGA is one of the most insanely stacked offenses in the country against an LSU defense decimated by the draft.
Sorry, but we win this game in the second half going away.

All of y'all whom are either writing off LSU and/or Vanderbilt should watch out. Vanderbilt is a competitive team, and the Texas A&M game may not be a blowout loss.
The ranters speak as if LSU is on the decline and sucks which isn't the case. LSU may have grown a little stagnant, but for all we know they could be on the incline if the offense pans out this year.
Now, onto your post...
Your rushing defense ranked 77 last season. I don't follow your team, but I know that Georgia is a talented program. After last season's performance, I'd expect ya'll to be hungry on defense. Your rushing defense helped cost you the SEC Championship and South Carolina games, and it was belittled in the media. Your secondary was decent but gave up too many key big plays. I don't follow your program, so I don't know what to expect in the secondary, but we will have a good idea at the end of September.
You seem to forget that LSU is an equally talented program. You forget whom LSU returns in their secondary. LSU's offense should have a good test against TCU's defense early. LSU's secondary might have a good test against TCU's returning quarterback. I've read a while ago that TCU's lines are their greatest concern, so that game might not pan out to be much. You also seem to forget that LSU has 3 tuneup games before the Georgia matchup. We've still got about 3 months before the game and cannot predict the teams' depth charts when it's time to play. I'd be wary about talking smack to a team that has tended to defeat you when it matters most (2003, 2011). Granted, those were both SEC Championship games, but they were a play-in for the national title game. You may want to bring up 2005, but do you think LSU jumps an undefeated USC and Texas to play for the national championship? I'm not an LSU fan, but I will pull for them heavily in this game. I don't like Georgia's online fans and the crap ya'll have pulled off winning the East the last 2 seasons despite not being the best team in your division.

TCU's defense will naturally be intimidated by LSU. This is worth 10 points to LSU.

And UGA's defense against Clemson and South Carolina before a walk-through against North Texas

See post above. Barring any major injuries, UGA will be the more battle-tested team heading in after a cupcake game.

Selective history sure is fun. I'd argue that 2004, 2005, and 2008 were much more important. It's not important why, just go with it.

Well, no, considering we beat the holy hell out of them on their biggest stage of the 2005 season. I fail to see what 2005 has to do with 2013, though.

As is your right. No love lost here.

How often do teams not have an off game in a 13 or 14 game schedule? Other factors play in as well. Thanks for selectively picking last year's game and forgetting 2011's.
Just because those are good tests doesn't mean your defense will be ready for this game, but the same argument can be made for LSU's offense after their test and tuneups.
No doubt Georgia will be this season but both teams return battle tested players from last season. I'm not sure the games against Clemson and South Carolina will give you a great advantage. If you lose both, where will your team be mentally? How's their development? The arguments regarding the LSU/Georgia game will be revisited after the 1st 2 weeks. 1st game performances can be deceiving.
If there were a PM system here, I'd be interested in hearing why you think so. LSU was average in 2008. LSU had already dropped a game in 2004, 2005, and 2008 before losing to Georgia. In 2004 and 2005, their 1st loss would have removed them from title game consideration. Nowadays, the best SEC programs (except South Carolina) are striving for national titles. 2004, 2005, and 2008 would not have satisfied LSU fans today.
I'll bite. 2011 Arkansas >>> 2011 Auburn. Sure, South Carolina shouldn't have lost to Auburn that year, but Georgia did not face the SEC West's best until the SEC Championship game that y'all lost 42-10. That's as far as I'll go unless you respond.
Georgia had the easiest 2012 schedule of the East's Big 3. Your West Schedule was a joke for the second year in a row. Arkansas beat Auburn and went down to the wire with Ole Miss. On top of that South Carolina had LSU.
South Carolina had come off of their greatest win in program history; it was a very emotional game for South Carolina, and they could not match that intensity against LSU. LSU dominated.
If it weren't for the LSU loss, there would have been a 3-way tie for the East. The 44-11 blowout wouldn't have helped South Carolina's case, but South Carolina or Florida would have deserved the division in that case. Florida played Georgia closely the whole game and was not blown out by South Carolina. Georgia and South Carolina both have a blowout loss on their record and weaker schedules. I think Florida would have been the leader in the BCS standings.
What's even funnier is that last year's SEC Championship marked the first time Alabama faced someone other than Florida.

SEC West Big 3 = Alabama, Auburn, LSU

I should ask the same of LSU and a potential loss to TCU.

I was just being sarcastic, man.
I was simply pointing out the UGA wins the way you pointed out the LSU wins. quote:
Sure, South Carolina shouldn't have lost to Auburn that year,
But they did. No different than 2007 UGA shouldn't have lost to Carolina or Tennessee. But they did. Tennessee was, therefore, the best team in the East.

This is a really lame excuse Carolina fans use. If you can;t handle winning a big, emotional game, then you're not ready to win the conference.

South Carolina and UF didn't deserve jack
Hell, Florida got more than they deserved in the Sugar and failed miserably, both on the field and in the stands. South Carolina came awfully close to losing to an average Michigan team. At least UGA soundly beat Nebraska.Posted on 7/5/13 at 8:14 pm to burbank
You seriously think it puts you in the west big 3???
Posted on 7/5/13 at 8:19 pm to tigafan89
Well the only team in the west that plays an east team worth a shite , is LSU.
In the last 5 years of TSIO,Tenn has led a TOTAL of 6 minutes and 45 seconds. I'm not a conspiracy guy on schedules because they usually even themselves out over time, but if Bama doesn't play UF, UGA or USClite in 14-15( after missing all three in both bridge years AND HAVING 4 WEST HOME GAMES IN 12-13) ill start to wonder.

What's funny is that LSU's step back , is a leap forward by the Vols. let me know when Tenn wrestles back that, " top SEC program in Tennessee" title.
Posted on 7/5/13 at 10:49 pm to tigafan89
Bama and A&M don't play anyone from the East capable of beating them. Doubt LSU beats Georgia AND Florida, though. They are much more likely to lose both than win both.

This is overstated. We return more starters than A&M and more off our two deep roster than Bama. Also ,I know Arky fans don't know much about reloading, but that's what teams in the top ten in recruiting classes ( every year) do.
