I know, at this point everyone is is thinking 15-0 SHIP! (right Aubs?)

But in you heart of hearts, you have to be worried about a couple of teams that could sneak up on you, even Bamers...

For me:

1. Florida - it's always Florida, we aren't still stuck in the agonizing run from the 90's - but this is still the game I am most concerned with every year

2. Norte Dame - everyone thinks that we should win, but they are not a "cupboard bare" program by any stretch, losing early could sure take the wind out of our sails...

3. GA Tech - godam nerds beat us last year, not saying this is a "hot seat" game for Kirby, but we really need to reestablish dominance in state

Our defensive staffs have a track record of struggling with GT the first time they see them and faring much better the second time around.

Willie struggled badly in 2008 (Johnson's first year) but was fine in 2009. Grantham struggled badly in 2010 but was better in 2011. Pruitt 2014/2015. I'm not terribly concerned with GT this year.

Tennessee and Auburn are obvious road games to be concerned about so I'll bypass that and say SC at home.

UGA - always a critical game

LSU

You're calling BS on me not being concerned with us beating BYU in Houston?

I'm not calling for BYU to beat you, I am just saying that most reasonable fans would be concerned that their team not come out flat the year after they (wait for it) - came out flat; esp with a new coach/system

and Tennessee is a great game, I'd call that a toss up with maybe a slight edge to LSU

also, "concerned with" is not the same as "think we will lose"

just sayin...

LSU should obviously win that game but that is by no means a cupcake opener

1. Florida State - will be a Top 5 match-up and a potential 1 vs. 2. We could easily start off the year 0-1.

2. Ole Miss - I'm really worried about this game because I don't just want to beat them, I want to effing castrate these assholes. It's time we give these dweebs a repeat of the 2011 game when we massacred them in Oxford to the tune of 52-7. My main concern is that we don't blow them out.

3. Auburn - I always worry about this game, I don't care if they are winless coming into it.

I speak for 90% of LSU fans when I say there is 0.0 concern for the BYU game. Comparing that game to the Wisconsin game last year at lambeau is crazy talk.
if there was a 3rd game of concern, which there isn't, it would be @ state. Early in the year and nick fitzgerald. Tennessee is nothing but a lovely road trip. I love Knoxville

They also have talent and a very good QB. They went 9-4 last year and their four losses were by a combined 8 points.
