re: In depth game by game predictions - Offseason read.

Check out the 2011 schedule and our record against the teams we played. Also, look and see who our coach was that season. In closing, you are a fricking idiot.

This prediction of going undefeated is absolutely absurd. We will likely play 10 bowl eligible teams.

ok.

No one will really dispute this.

given who our head coach still is

It's when you throw stupid shite like this, that's when ppl call you a moron.

The two don't jive. 10 bowl teams but our coach is...

Did Les lose 2 or more games in 2011? With Top 5 oregon and top 15 WVU on the schedule?

Didn't think so moron.

This team is just as good

Any prediction with less than 2 losses is homerish as hell and not based in reality given who our head coach still is.

In Miles' 11 seasons at LSU, there have only been 2 seasons where LSU did not lose AT LEAST two regular season games (2005, 2011). Therefore, it's not outlandish, based on 11 years of history, that LSU will likely lose at least 2 games this season. However........

As I said in a thread yesterday, generally when Miles' LSU teams have been highly ranked (top 5) going into a season, they live up to those expectations. In the two years that Miles didn't lose at least two games, LSU started the season ranked in the top 5 (2005, 2011). 2007 and 2012 are the outliers to that argument. However, everyone (except OSU and Kansas) lost at least 2 games in 2007 and LSU still finished up to preseason expectations. 2012 is the one year they were ranked very high to start and didn't finish that way.

I'm generally pretty pessimistic when it comes to Miles. But I will give him is just due. When he has a team that is widely thought to be VERY good going into a season, those teams usually live up to those lofty expectations.

I would not be surprised to see LSU lose at least 2 games this season. Nevertheless, I would be equally unsurprised if they are playing for the National Championship in January. Unlike 2013, 14, 15, and to a large extent, 2012, the pieces for such a run (compared with everyone else around the country) in 2016. If Miles is going to get national title #2, this is the year.
