| '13 -Best/Worst Case Scenarios? (Posted on 1/12/13 at 10:20 pm)
Now that we know who's leaving & staying and assuming no staff changes (not sure if this is a good assumption).
Best: 14-0 (I think we have enough talent to beat anyone we'll play).
Worst: 7-6 (losses to UGA, UF, Bama, Aggies, OM, and a Bowl)
X-factors: Mett, DE & LB play, and PK (who takes over for Alleman?)
ETA: I stand corrected; changed 15-0 to 14-0 since the 4 team playoff doesn't begin 'til the 2014 season. Thanks for the correction.

If we come out and lose to a pretty good TCU team in Dallas and I hope that doesnt happen, we might be looking at 6 and 6 with the TCU loss added to the 5 that you mentioned. On the other hand , could have the ball bounce our way and go 9-3 or 10-2 again. I think we will get a pretty good idea which direction after that first game against TCU.

A loss right out of the gate could be bad, I agree, but I don't see TCU pulling it off.
UGA is the one I'm least confident in for some reason. I think flashbacks of X Carter are getting me there.
I like our chances with Florida and aTm mainly because they're at home.
Bama, say what you will, but it's been a toss up lately and not as lopsided of a series as the rant would have you believe but they definitely have the edge
Ole miss is a wildcard and should be an interesting game
9-3 or 10-2 would be my guess but if we get the bounces here or there 11-1 isn't crazy to me at all.

Playoffs do not start until the 2014 season. BCSNC is in Pasadena next year, to conclude the rotation.

To answer OP, we probably go 8-4. Losing to Ags, Bama, Georgia... then probably lose one out of Arkansas, Ole Miss, TCU, Florida and State.
ETA: this is the best case scenario. Too many losses on the defensive side of the ball, and it's doubtful Miles will be changing his offensive philosophy. So when we spot the other team a deficit, like the Texas A&M game this year, the defense is not going to be able to hold the other team all game, while waiting for the offense to finally click.
Just don't see it happening. Lost too many players.
Worst case scenario is almost unthinkable... with bad breaks we're looking at 6-7 losses. Programs like Texas and Georgia weren't immune to it, neither are we if things start to get really bad.

Probably go 8-4. That's the best case scenario.
Wow! Some of you idiots really need to stop commenting on something you clearly know nothing about.
It is completely asinine to say anything less than an undefeated season would be the "best case" scenario. Nearly every expert (Vegas) has us as the 3rd most likely team to win it all. It's amazing how someone that calls themself a fan can have a more negative opinion of their team than an objective non affiliated person.
The only thing that sucks about LSU right now isn't our team or coaches. It's some of our so called fans.

Best: losing record, then I can stretch my legs like in the Hallman days when people stopped coming to the games
Worst: losing record, then I cannot come back to TD.com and read all the suicidal threads without feeling bad
