We surprise everyone with a tie for 7th place finish @ 10-8. Much more talent than people realize, much better chemistry.

2 spots too high. How JJ still has a job is fricking beyond me. He'll be gone after this year for sure though, at least he absolutely better be.

Sounds about right. I see 12-19 (4-12)

With JA finally working the courage to fire Miles, how on earth did Coach JJ not get fired after last season's train wreck. I hope the team is able to put together a respectable season for an NIT bid.

Too high.

12th in the SEC....wow someone is really seeing something that I don't. I saw LSU as no better than 14th in the SEC with JJ as the coach. I personally had them as the 15th best team in the SEC

Jones and this team will outperform this prediction. 18-19 wins and .500 in the SEC. I won't say that they'll make the NCAAt, but I can say that they won't turn down a #1 or #2 seed on the NIT, lol. Geaux Tigers!

Couldn't do shite with Simmons; won't do shite without Simmons. Jones gets the boot after this year.
