re: Does LSU win 8 games this year?

well, there's 5 AutoWins with Sam Houston, ULM, Miss St, New Mexico St, and Kentucky.

Any other year I would agree with you, but Ms. State returns a good portion of their roster and the law of averages says they are due to win one.

I think Arky and A&M are definitely wins and the Ole Miss game will be a struggle,

Agree LSU will struggle with OM, Arkansas isn't a definite win, LSU struggled to beat the worst 2 teams in Arkansas' history and Arkansas will be much improved this year.

I think the Wisconsin game will be a real indicator of where the season is going.

I'm not sure how big of an indicator it will be, Wisconsin has the advantage of knowing their identity and picking up where they left off last year. LSU will be a young team in search of an identity. Wisconsin winning this game won't be a shock, but it shouldn't have a large bearing on LSU becoming bowl eligible this season.
