We're tied for 3rd in the country for top 150 NFL talent by scout/24/7.
Yes predictions can be flawed, but with all of the evidence presented in this thread, how can you not understand why we are confident?
Also, you asked for our score vs LSU in 2016- we lost 23-20 when we were unquestionably worse and they were probably better.

We return 4 starters and a guy who started 4 games last year on the offensive line. Our offensive line gave up the least sacks in the SEC last season (5th in NCAA), 3rd least tackles for loss in the SEC (15th in NCAA). On 3rd and 4th down with less than 2 yards to go, we ran for a first down or a touchdown 84.2% of the time, that's #2 in the NCAA and #1 in the SEC.
We have a dark horse Heisman cantidate at quarterback who is likely to break the SEC QB all time rushing yards record this season. His poor passing numbers last season was mainly due to the lack of talent at WR and injuries at WR. This year, we add in the #1 JUCO WR and people are saying there's a good chance he will be drafted in April. Whop and Williams are both talented. Mixon is back. Dear is back from injury.
We return a 1,000 yard rusher from last season, Aeris Williams. He is being pushed for the starting job by Kylin Hill, who is actually better than Aeris.
We have the best defensive line in the SEC. 2 All SEC players (Simmons & Sweat). Rivers gets to play this year and people are saying he is better than Sweat. Gerri Green is moving from linebacker to defensive end. Hoyette and Thomas are experienced and talented at defensive tackle.
We have a veteran starter at linebacker, Leo Lewis. I believe Erroll Thompson is going to have a breakout year this season. Willie Gay is going to play a lot also.
Our secondary is better than last season. Peters, Rayford, Dantzler at corner. We've added Brian Cole to the team, he will start at nickel. McLaurin led the SEC in interceptions last season and is back. Abram is back.
