re: If LSU is the 6th best team in the conference. . .

You lost A LOT of folks from last year.

Defensively perhaps, but returned plenty.

The difference between Top 3 and Top 6 in the SEC could be a bounce of the football. 3 losses probably puts you at 6.

3 losses in the regular season is a wasted season.

4. A lot of people outside of BR are very skeptical that you can just hire an OC that was fired from the NFL for sucking and expect your offense to magically be fixed.

Fair criticism.

5. LSU has a ridiculously tough schedule this year with as many as 5 games that will be as tough as Clemson and easily the toughest in the SEC. Georgia, Florida, A&M, Bama, and even TCU are going to be very tough games. I also wouldn't sleep on the road trip to Oxford the week after playing Florida.

---

Clemson was only tough because of the circumstances around it, not because of the team we played.

6. The good news (if you want to call it that) is LSU will get every chance to prove just how good they are this year due to that schedule.

Seems like that is exactly what I said in my OP
