Ok, we're a little more than 2 weeks out and things are slightly more in focus. Obviously still a ton of personnel and scheme questions left to be answered. Have your thoughts/opinions changed on the season?

I'm confident we're at least 10-2. Not sure the bowl with the new playoff format. Under old I'd say Cotton/Cap One. Nothing earth shattering in my prediction but here it is:

Wisconsin-we win, similar to Outback Bowl/TCU where it's unnecessarily close at the end.

Then 4-0.

Auburn/UF-many unknowns. At worst 1-1. Game probably means a lot more to Auburn than LSU but that stuff really doesn't matter much.

UK-win

Ole Miss-Tough to give any meaningful prediction so far out but tough game, we should win.

Bama-What can you say. Game of the year. We're due.

Arkansas scares the hell out of me bc of timing/location/history of struggles

A&M. We own them but who knows at this point.

Auburn/Ole Miss/Bama/Arkansas I worry about.

We go 2-2 against that group I'm pleased with the young team.

10-2. Losses are the first road game of the season at Auburn and a letdown loss at Arkansas.

I think 9-3 would be a successful season based on the youth and inexperience. 8-4 is likely and 7-5 is a possibility if they lose to Wisconsin.

100% Sure wins: 4
Sam Houston, ULM, NMSU, Kentucky

Toss ups (meaning I wouldn't be surprised if we happened to lose one of these): 8

Prediction: 9-3

Best win: Bama
Worst loss: A&M

9-3
I think we lose the opener in a nail biter, get thumped at Auburn, and then lose either a trap road game or Bama.

9-3. We lose one we shouldn't, we win one we shouldn't.

10-2. Split the Aurburn/Florida games and lose another some where along the way.

8-4. Losses to Auburn, Bama, Ole Miss, Ark.

Ark was absolute dogshit each of the last 2 years and we barely won both games. They will be better this season and with it in Fayetteville on a non-holiday..that place will be rocking. They fckng hate us. Trust me, I live here.

Auburn is a toss up but I think our youth shows up on the road so early in the season and we drop a very close game but bounce back to beat UF the next week.

OM is good and loaded and they almost always give us fits anyway. Other than Nutt's last season.

If you would have asked me this in July I would have said 2 losses and a New Years Day Bowl... But now that Fournette is in town and all reports say he is as advertised... The more I hear about the LBs and the more I see the DBs clicking... I have a feeling we surpise some teams like 2003.

I think we make a statement with a 30-10 win against Wisonsin... I think Harris wins the starting job and we rely on our run game before he emerges as a very good QB..

I think we lose 1 and make the top 4.
