TN can go anywhere from 9-3 to 11-1.
All comes down to the UF game if we lose that we will go 9-3.
Win that and 11-1 is possible and 10-2 likely.

Not much else to get. You're reaching for reasons to believe that AU will beat LSU because logic says it's LSU's game to lose.
You've come up with "It's at home" and "The replacements will be better". Now that I step back and reassess, that's some rock solid reasoning for an AU victory, IMO. I don't know what I was thinking.
ETA: I forgot about ST. You think they are an advantage for AU even though both units were in the bottom half of the conference last year. Advantage is a relative term when neither unit is very good.

Of course you aren't.
However, you are convinced that an AU squad that was worse on both sides of the ball in 2015, and returns half the production, is going to be better than LSU.
You're coming off totally rational in this thread so far.
The problem with your argument in this game specifically each of the last 2 seasons what you say is irrational was exactly what happened. LSU via 2014 and then Auburn via 2015.

Um, it actually reaffirms what I'm saying.
LSU won in 2013 and replaced a ton of starters in 2014, while AU returned most of theirs. AU proceeded to kick the shite out of LSU. Then, LSU returned quite a few players in 2015 and AU replaced a bunch of starters. LSU proceeded to kick the shite out of AU.
Tell me again how that projects into 2016?

Sept. 1 USC - W - New coach, inexperience going up against a pretty damned well-coached D. I like our chances at home. Boom usually fields good defenses too, but it's his first year and Spurrier didn't exactly leave him with an all-world collection of talent.
Sept. 10 MTSU - W - Yeah, we've had some embarrassing losses to these sorts of teams lately, but we have WKU and TennState coming up. I want to say we go 2-1, and WKU is the most likely loss
Sept. 17 @Georgia Tech - L - GT is the one major team I honestly don't know very well coming in to the 2016 season. So I can't make even an informed guess. I'll just give it to them because it's in Atlanta.
Sept. 24 @Western Kentucky - L - This would be a trap game even for a better team than us, plus it's in Bowling Green (that's where WKU is, right?) It's certainly winnable but I think we'll lose
Oct. 1 FLORIDA - L - Frankly, I really want to call this a toss-up, especially in Nashville. Obviously, that could change once the season starts and we see what both programs will be fielding. Whether or not UF has an offense this year remains to be seen (del Rio looks promising. Still, just a spring game.) What they do have is a lot more talent on the field. I could see this ending like last season, with both teams in the single digits.
Oct. 8 Kentucky - W - We did it last year, we can do it this year, dammit. Honestly, this should be a close, hardfought game. I think both programs will be improved relative to last year. If a UK fan wants to pop in and disagree, I'd completely understand.
Oct. 15 @Georgia - L - Too much firepower. Even if we manage to hold them to 2 TDs or something, we still need to two scores of our own to tie or win. I've seen no evidence yet that we can do that against a decent team.
Oct. 22 Tennessee State - W - Because WKU will be our non-Power 5 loss.
Nov. 5 @Auburn - W - Not because I think we're a better team, but God wouldn't want AU to even the series with us. If they win, they'll be defying Jesus, and, well, they'll have no-one to blame but themselves for the plague of pox to follow.
Nov. 12 @Missouri - W - As close to a Power 5 gimme, at least on paper, as we'll get this year. Program in disarray, new coach, beat them last year, etc.
Nov. 19 OM - L - Unless an NCAA investigation is sending them into free-fall. While they lose a lot of talent from last year, they should still hae enough to get past us.
Nov. 26 UT - L - UT cheats. They're dirty players with a dirty field (thank God we're in Nashville this year) and frankly, their habit of using flatulence to win games (and mates0 is just nasty.
So...6-6. Actually, 5-7 would be more likely, but I'm not conceding that loss to Auburn until we leave Jordan-Hare. I don't think I'm being wildly optimistic. Maybe a little hopeful, but I think a .500 record is quite doable with our defense. We are extraordinarily lucky in that we get the majority of our toughest games at home this year.

I would think the biggest question for Georgia would be having fired a 10 win average coach and hiring a guy who will be coaching his very first game ever this year. But that's just me.

Arkansas could go 6-6 this year, or run the table.
Hard to say, and won't know what we are looking at until TCU. That will be a great game. If Arkansas's defense plays as well as it possibly can, Arkansas will have multiple shut out victories this year, as they did 2 years ago. Robb Smith is one of the best defensive coordinators in the game.
The big question mark is the offensive line. If the ground game gets going early, Arkansas is going to be a 10 win team this year. If it doesn't, Arkansas is going to drop a few.

After 2014 he did but 2015 was rough for him. I know we had to replace to some key guys but that pass D was horrific. I do expect us to have a really solid defense next year and still think Smith is a good coordinator.

10-2 (6-2) tied with Tennessee with the Vols holding the tiebreaker and going to ATL. They'll most likely be another hidden Loss on the schedule that comes out of nowhere as is the case most times with first year HC's

frick it.
15-0.
I don't give two shits about being objective (and most of us don't either), but I am honest.
This will be LSU's best season since '11, only we'll have the firepower to finish the damn thing.
And Heisman for Fournette.
15-0.

I am hoping for eight wins.
But it is possible we could be 1-3 to after the first four games...
Survive Clemson without losing the team, and maybe we can hit the nine game mark...
but this schedule is the type that gets a coach fired, honestly.
