So you think we lost to Texas A&M at home after we blew them out last year as well? Really?
Alabama is the only guaranteed loss on the schedule. Kansas State and Auburn are the two games after Bama that worry me. LSU still has Coach O, A&M we crushed last year and bring back everyone.
Florida I'm not sure about either because the team will be riding a lot of emotion.
I see a potential 11-1 year if all goes right, probably going to be 10-2 or 9-3 year and a 7-5 8-4 year at worst.
You are just outright assuming the worst case scenario.

@LSU
You do realize you have only won @LSU 2 times since 1985???
If it were in Starkville, I might have given it a toss up or W.

This argument is fricked as soon as I note that you all lost to OM last year.
They're probably wanting it again, doesn't mean it will happen though right?

But you realize this is a Coach O LSU team not a Les Miles team. I grew up in Oxford, I've seen Coach O coach football. It is not going to go well, LSU has enough talent to carry him to like 8 wins every year but he will lose to good teams.

This list is dog shite that's been laying out in the yard for 6 months bad.

It's very bad. I'm avoiding the Florida ranking. I'm sure a lot have the same feelings as myself.

Because a heated rivalry game where you lose your QB in the first ten minutes and almost still come back and win is the same thing as playing A&M right?
I'm more worried about Ole Miss than A&M because it is a rivalry game.
If we lose Fitzgerald in the first quarter of game, sure I agree we'll probably lose a game or two. IDK tho because the Back-up looked good against Louisville, but it was UL and their defense sucked.

The rise of computer algorithms around college football over the past few years have been very kind to MSU. It makes just discounting MSU because of their putrid history harder. Anyone that does it is just being lazy at this point.
MSU has a solid team coming back and should begin the season in the top 15. ESPN FPI has them as a 9-3/10-2 team. This is the first year I can remember that MSU wasn't just automatically being picked last by everyone.

I don't think anyone is saying that MSU will be a bad team. They just face the hardest obstacles to get there. You can't fault people for not giving your new head coach a doubt. Why is he projected to beat A&M? Y'all beat Sumlin, not Jimbo. We don't have any idea what these question teams will look like yet. Look at Florida, they looked like absolute dog shite at their spring game and look how high these clown have them. Again it's no disrespect because of history or bias as an opposing fan, but there are a lot of things that is yet to be seen.

I understand all of your points on coaching, but at the end of the day, players play. We have an identity on O and D. Not many teams can say that with confidence this year IMO.

Sleeping on a&m and Mizzou. Ags will not wilt in October under jimbo. Qb won't be the main ballcarrier anymore.
Mizzou may be the east rep in the seccg. They are vastly underrated this season.

Why would A&M be a sure loss and not a toss up? We've beaten the crap out of them two years in a row with pretty much the same roster and have them at home. Don't give me Jimbo either as the reason you think this. It's because Arkansas is supposed to suck a-gain and you can't that State is supposed to be good.

OM is way too high. Should be closer to 100.

Majority of UGA players from the 6-6 2016 team came back for 2017 and made the natty. Im not saying a&m will do that. But just because they have alot of returning starters does not mean that is a penciled in win for msu for 2018. Jimbo doesnt coach soft like sumlin. So time will tell.
