I hope your not serious.

5 SEC road games including against Bama, Florida, and Tennessee. Auburn is returning like 17 starters and has a proven QB. Arkansas has won 2 out of the last 3 against us. And Miss State has a good QB that is dangerous.

If Ed wins 10 he will be coach of the year

Early lines have us favored in 11 games with the slimmest being Auburn at -4.5. I'm not expecting much from the Gators this season and I think the OM and UT games will be a bit more tricky.

Our win total is at 9 so 3 losses should be our expectation, but I think it's more likely we lose 2 than 4.

Hope the line doesn't say at Auburn because we play Auburn in Baton Rouge this year.

Athlon has us at 9-3 with a trip to the Fiesta Bowl vs. USC. I'd be ok with that.

Auburn has a proven qb? Lol. He proved himself in that big bad big 12.

If Lsu wins 10 that will be 1 over the Vegas mark of 9. Not like it is way out on a limb prediction.

If om is tricky we are in trouble. They are not in the preseason top 50, and Vegas has over under at 5.5, not to mention the instability

So Les averages 10 a year, got to go. But Coach O is coach of the year for 10 wins.

Where the hell am i?

good lord, fella. Long term averages are lovely, but Les is gone because he went 15-11 in the SEC over his last 3+ years (10-10 against the West). An unacceptable decline - that's why he's gone.

We returned 18 (before Lac went down) including the best rb in LSU history last year.

Arkansas is 0-1 against us.

Johnny Manziel never beat us.
Dak won 1 out of 3(4?) and barely beat us on a team that crawled to number two that year. And that was because Beckwith was sitting on the sidelines while Welter watched Dak blow by.

Tennessee will likely suck this year. They lost both their QB and stud RB from last year and will not be that good.

UF will not be improved either. They are about what they were last year and should've lost the game to LSU last year.

Auburn is not going to be as good as some think. Yes, they got a highly rated QB to come in, but no one knows how he'll do. Outside of Cam Newton, they've only done well with lower rated QBs and the "stars" busted.

Arky has literally nothing going for them outside of their center and maybe their QB.

MSU outside of their QB is meh.

Realistically, the only team talent-wise that should be an issue for LSU is Bama, but all the others won't have that issue. LSU has the best DC in the conference, and while they did lose a good bit on defense talent-wise, they are bringing back some legit pieces from last year and should be nearly as good if no major injuries.

Huh??...at Bama, at Tenn. ...Auburn is supposed to be pretty good and Florida is usually no picnic, either...I could see anywhere from 2-4 losses very easily.....
