How is it unrealistiic? The talent that comes in is now year to year. There is no time to build. Every one of those portal signs can be somewhere else next year if they are unhappy for any reason or get a bigger offer elsewhere.

It's unrealistic because every team in the country has the same access to the portal that y'all do. Y'all have put together an amazing class, but so have a lot of the teams on your schedule - five of your opponents next season have put together top 13 recruiting classes this cycle, and y'all play three of those five opponents on the road. I wouldn't expect to start rolling through all of Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M right away, hence why I said y'all should push for a playoff spot but probably not be title contenders next year

Sure

He's got talent but getting everyone to learn the system and gel will take time. I'll be looking for the team to get better as the year goes on - our schedule is toughest in the last part of the year if I recall.

After last years dismal offensive performance it should be fun just to watch Lane score more than 25

I’m told lsu is a perennial playoff team and now that they have the best coach and most expensive roster, anything short of a natty is failure.

That’s probably pushing it but if they don’t make the playoffs

When is it ever for any of the Big Six?

This guy gets it.

Doesn't matter if you're LSU, Florida, Auburn, or even 1998unteers, an SEC title is the expectation at a minimum.

Ole Miss and Aggy types won't understand.
