"This fall, the Tigers will face both SEC West juggernauts, Alabama and Texas A&M, plus the top two teams from the East according to our projections, Florida and Georgia. According to our 2012 data model, LSU has less than a 1 percent chance of winning those four games, and only an 8 percent chance of winning three of them."

I do agree with that schedule it is almost impossible to make the NC game. We could lose to Georiga or Florida and then sweep the rest and have a shot but I don't see that happening anymore with the offense we have.

We'll likely lose a game due to schedule difficulty, I agree. But when did A&M become a juggernaut? One good year and suddenly they are Alabama?

2011 schedule was even harder, IMO. We do well when expectations are not as high.

I wonder what this writer's prediction for the Bama/Notre Dame game was?

This past year they faced Alabama, Florida, A&M and South Carolina, went 2-2. Not bad but it kept them out of the SEC title game.

We can always count on Les' strategery and game management skills to win at least one that we shouldn't.

LSU will have a tough 2013 season but it won't be due primarily to the schedule. LSU has played and succeeded with killer schedules in the past.

The problems the 2013 team will endure are the same ones the 2012 team faced and failed to overcome. LSU lacks a credible OC and thus a credible offense. Address that issue and LSU can succeed even with their schedule.

Georgia won't be as good next year but they'll still be a very good team. Agreed with this. We'll lose at least 2 games. So yea, no chance. Ole Miss will be a challenge like they always are. Auburn/Ar-Kansas will be better. Even our OOC is tough. TCU will not be easy and Kent State is a good small college team...UAB is always good. Remember what they did last time here?

My personal prediction is 3-4 losses...unless offense makes drastic changes. I have very little optimism(rightfully so) that this will happen.

Who in the SEC would have a chance against the same/equal foes?
