I see you beating an SEC team, hopefully not us, just for the yearly WTF game that Ole Miss tends to pull out.

Having 2 SEC wins yet 4 overall would mean that we lose two of Colorado State, Portland State, Western Kentucky and San Jose State.

Guess it could happen but a bit strange.

I agree with Arkansas finishing 6th but if they get two conference wins then we should have 5-6 overall wins with this OOC schedule.

Portland State
Colorado State - lost once could potentially lose twice.
San Jose State
Western Kentucky

Y'all lost to UNT this year. But you're right. Arkie will win 3/4 of the OOC, and will beat Ole Miss and surprise someone in conference. Edited.

Nope. And Ole Miss could go winless. It is going to be a total debacle.

Looks reasonable but I think LSU will be a little lower and AU a little higher.


I think AU is spot on, tbh.

LSU will go 11-1.

Obviously loss at Bama is pretty much guaranteed. I don't see 2 other SEC losses on our schedule unless some team makes a huge improvement. We return like 85% of our team, bring in a great recruiting class, and our schedule gets much easier. Most of our toughest games are at home. Toughest games on the schedule:

1) @ Bama
2) @ Texas
3) Florida
4) A&M
5) Auburn
6) @ State?
Doesn't really matter after that

We will be favored in every game except @ Bama and probably @ Texas.


The big questions will be:
- Can we finally avoid the preseason suspensions (probably not)
- Can we keep all draft eligible juniors/sophomores except Greedy and White? (I think so)
- Can we do anything to improve the offense? (I think we hire a Co-OC. Pretty much all signs lead to that)

They're on the cusp of 10-2, 6-2, but without some offensive changes, they won't get there.

LSU will not go 11-1, 7-1.

State loses 9 off their defense and their QB. They aren’t winning 8.



You're hoping and wishing too hard.

State returns their entire LB corps, along with two solid corners and lots of experience at safety. That second and third team DL that you saw Thanksgiving night will be back.

We won't be as good defensively, but we're still going to be a top 25 unit.

Offense, who knows. We bring back most of the o-line, most of the receiving corps, and Kylin Hill. We won't be any worse than this year.

8-4 is about right.

Yeah Bama is a definitely loss and we’ll slip up against someone else for sure. I don’t see worse than 9-3 though.

I don't either. The worst thing that could have happened to Coach O was Sumlin being replaced by Fisher, giving another-year-in-year-out speed bump to LSU's, divisional, conference and national aspirations. As bad as everyone has dogged O, I think he is making a better CEO-type head coach than anyone had expected (notwithstanding having to run to fetch his own time outs ). He just needs to put together the offensive pieces to the puzzle.

Quite frankly, I think Ensminger did a good job, but the offense just didn't click sometimes. I'm sure a lot of folks think Ensminger needs to go, though.

We should have gone 10-2 this year, and we will be better next year and have an easier schedule.

I think 10-2 is probably accurate, 11-1 if you are optimistic like I tend to be.

Don't know. Don't care. Just couldn't put them at 12-0 because statistics. Maybe Southern Miss.

All depends on who is our QB.

We literally didn't have a QB on our roster this year.
