I just don't see this year's team having much of a chance to beat Bama or Georgia on the road, and it's tough to imagine they take all three from A&M, Ole Miss and Florida. And this is assuming no "big" upsets like MSU or TCU.

The way Miles' teams, even the best of them, play with fire so often and the extent to which they rely on their defense makes them vunerable in a year in which they are throwing virtually a brand new starting unit on that side of the ball. Whether LSU fans want to admit it or not this team will be A LOT closer to the 2008 version than the 2011 one.

Let's see now.

LSU @ bama in '11 - tigers win
LSU @ bama in '09 - tigers have fourth quarter lead on future BCSNC team.
LSU @ bama in '07 - tigers win
LSU @ bama in '05 - tigers win
LSU @ bama in '03 - tigers win
LSU @ UGA in '09 - tigers win (that's the last time we played between the hedges)

Are you picking up on that trend?

As for the LSU home games VS a&m and UF. Tigers don't lose many in tiger stadium.

Hopefully we get the aggies at night. If the networks are smart one of them will make sure that happens. It will be insane in BR that saturday.

Gators lost just as much if not more starters/lettermen as LSU.

Ole Miss is Ole Miss. rebs will put up a FIGHT but, in the end tigers prevail.

How long have you followed the tigers closely? If you think the talent on the '08 "D" was remotely equal to what's in BR now you honestly don't have a clue. Hell if that '08 defense had Chief as it's DC the PPG yielded would have gone down at least 7-10 points.
