re: Which SEC team will fall the hardest this year?

I see lots of your posts on here and man u have a hard on for LSU.

Last 3 years =

So LSU returns 8 starters on offense and 8 on defense from the second most talented roster in the SEC, with a weak OOC schedule and drawing two teams from the east who are "down", but will finish unranked? OK...

LSU last year finished unranked after going 8-5. they didn't lose a non conference game last year, so getting their 4 wins from easy games this year as you are implying won't improve LSU compared to last year.

looking at the specific games, LSU always has a good chance to win home games, but the home/away switch from last year is, in my opinion, unfavorable.

@Miss St - Miss St is perceived to have taken a step back from last year, but they blew LSU away in DV and now LSU plays them away.

Auburn - have to come to DV but they blew LSU away last year and have probably improved as much or more over their 2014 squad as LSU has

@SCAR - could probably call this an easy win if it was in DV, but it isn't, so it probably won't be. SCAR performed significantly below talent last year, I expect them to rebound at least some.

Florida - @DV, probably a win, but can't be absolutely certain

@Alabama - very little chance of a win

Arky - shut out LSU last year in fayetteville, a team expected to be competitive in all games this year, to be significantly improved over last year, and very much a threat, even in DV

@Ole Miss - lost in DV to LSU last year by a FG, Ole Miss is beatable but all of the home field advantages, homecoming, night game, are gone.

A&M - Seems like the most obvious win of any listed, which is why you'll probably lose. A&M is going to get you eventually. Auburn had no business losing at home last year to A&M, but probably were totally drained after their game @Ole Miss. Hey, look who and where LSU plays the week before A&M? weeeeird.


But hey, you got 16 starters from your 8-5 team, should be a cake walk.

Out of curiosity......why the easy pick?

how often has UGA overachieved vs underachieved?

ETA: especially related to the talent brought in year in and year out


that said, I suppose you could throw LSU in the mix, although we're not top 10

Auburn will not finish in the top 10, Ole Miss and Miss State will be likely be unranked or at end of the poll. One of them may be ranked. Bama will lose at least two. Arky and UT will be bottom of poll or unranked. I have LSU at 9-3 or 10-2 depending on breaks. Clueless on A&M.

the answer is The Vols. As much smoke as those assholes have pumped if they don't win the east it will look like Jonestown the morning after around here.

Auburn has the potential to fall drastically if their defense doesn't improve and not having the running threat of Marshall (yes aubs, I know JJ can run but hes no NM) hurts the offense.

UGA seems like an easy pick but with a stacked defensive front in a relatively easy division they should still get to 9ish wins.

My picks are Ole Miss or LSU because of questions at QB despite having talent at skill positions and on defense

LSU fans seem to be split into two camps, especially on the rant:

8 wins max and playoff bound.


The playoff bound camp is starting to stir themselves into a frenzy and that is going to lead to some major meltdowns IMO.

No talent.
No recent success.
Terrible coaches.
Poor fan support.
Worst RB in the country.
Awful defense.

Clearly, it is LSU.

That was the worst defense in school history last year. Worse than the time we went 0-11. Bruh that ain't happening back to back
