re: My way too early expectations for 2022

It's way too early to know. I'd like to see who he pulls from the Portal and how Spring Practice goes. If he gets a few pieces and the players buy in then he could be on his way. If he ends up losing more of his key players and isn't replacing them it could be a rough year. There are no weak teams in the SECW so the margin for error is small as LSU doesn't have as much of a significant talent edge as it has had in recent years and they will be adjusting to a completely new style of play.

You get UT and UF from the East which is a decent draw. UF is rebuilding and you get UT at Tiger Stadium. The other 3 OOC games beyond FSU are easy wins and FSU isn't great but playing them in the first game makes that a lot harder with no time to work out the kinks with an all new system. Overall it's a pretty favorable schedule.

I know you guys love to rag on Aggy but you will probably be double digit underdogs at Kyle. A&M is pretty loaded next year and will be Preseason Top 5 most likely.

I think the O/U is 8-4/7-5. I think sub .500 is more likely than 10 wins. LSU went all in with the rebuild so next year is a mulligan.
