Bleacher Report Predicts LSU's Record For The 2017 Season

by Staff Reporter

February 23, 201750 Comments

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

College Football experts from Bleacher Report predicted 2017 records for every team that was ranked in the final AP Poll, which includes LSU who finished at No. 13.

As for the how the Tigers will fare in 2017, BR.com has LSU finishing 10-2 (6-2 SEC).

quote:
Final AP Poll Ranking: 13

A strong running game and tenacious defense can only carry a team so far. LSU is capable of beating every team on the schedule, but anything more requires a major improvement at quarterback.

The Tigers signed a pair of promising signal-callers, yet setting immediate and massive expectations for a true freshman is unwise. Barring injury, Danny Etling will likely remain under center. But being decent overall—and terrible against the best—doesn't win championships.

An unimposing nonconference schedule will generate hype around LSU before a rocky SEC road curbs the praise.

Projected Record: 10-2 (6-2 SEC)

What's your record prediction for the Tigers in 2017?

"College Football experts from Bleacher Report" That's not a real thing

JOHNN•86 months

Present day Bleacher Report isnt the sh!tty bleacher report from years ago. They are pretty credible these days.

schwartzy•86 months

*Vs. BYU W 27-17 Vs. Chatt W 38-7 @ Miss St. W 31-21 Vs. Syracuse W 42-17 Vs. Troy W 35-17 @ Florida L 24-21 Vs. Auburn W 27-24 @ Ole Miss 34-20 @ Alabama L 31-13 Vs. Arkansas W 24-17 @ Tennessee L 23-20 Vs. Texas A&M W 38-21 9-3 (5-3). Not an easy schedule at all

schwartzy•86 months

Supposed to be a WIN by Ole Miss.

Blanky6715•86 months

I think the loses if any go to auburn and bama. Florida loses A LOT on defense and Tennessee just isn't very good.

Shiftyplus1•86 months

So our defense takes a massive step back?

Nawlinsboyinbossier•86 months

Really sounds about right.

Charpol•86 months

I'll take it.

wesman21•86 months

I think we go 12-1, lose to Bama but O has the defense, run game and new offense to beat everyone else.

Mike Honcho•86 months

12-1 will get us into the Play-off about 8 times out of 10.

Placebeaux•86 months

No way Florida beats us

schwartzy•86 months

They did last year, as much as it pains me to say it

c on z•86 months

I mean, this would be the wrong game for us to be overconfident again.

JohnZeroQ•86 months

Sound logic about freshman QBs Bleacher Report

Lithium•86 months

lose all we are underdog in and one we are favored in. Just like we usually do

Jenar Boy•86 months

Undefeated going into Nov 4 @ Tuscaloosa. Finish up 10-2 or 11-1

Lexman1•86 months

Actually one of the most accurate guesses of any of the polls I've seen. And agree on Etling over a true freshman. With Canada's multiple shift offense and fast pace it would be a lot to learn. Add that to a freshman trying to learn about college life and everything that goes with it, and it can be overwhelming. If Canada does what he's being paid to do, we'll be fine with Etling at qb. And with our talent, we could win every game. Of course, we could have some misfortune and lose a couple. I don't see any more than 2 losses though. Playoffs or bust Tiger Fans!

Mouche337•86 months

LSU will go undefeated. The new offensive scheme will only slow down against Bama. Keep in mind we only loss 10-0 against Bama with Sam's offensive scheme. Lane Kiffen is no longer there to keep Bama's offense humming. We all saw how lousy the offense runs without Kiffen. Bama is the only team that stands in the way of a title. Now that they have loss Kiffen and Sark, they are vulnerable while LSU is stout. NC here we come!

Mouche337•86 months

I'm sorry, Cam's offense (stupid autocorrect).

NFLU7•86 months

Our scheme really doesn't match up that well against Bama but okay.

TyOconner•86 months

NFLU - Have you seen LSU's scheme? I'm pretty sure with a new coaching staff that no one has. Why don't you take your negativity somewhere dbag.

Bleacher Report skips from Etling to freshmen? Really? Not good coverage, and you miss fired on LSU! Undefeated! Geaux Tigers!

NFLU7•86 months

This again? Look I understand optimism but we really need to stop, how many years in a row did people like you say we were going undefeated? I'm not going to fall for it yet.

Old•86 months

Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, all are possible losses. On the other hand LSU could go undefeated unless Thomas Ritter and The Birmingham Collective call it.

TigerFanFromBama•86 months

I'll expect at least 3 or 4 loses a year until we get over the constant poor play from the QB position.

magicman0001•86 months

LMAO @ experts. They aren't even real journalists ffs.

OweO•86 months

This is just offseason reading material. 10-2 is a reasonable prediction... And its only a prediction. If we go 10-2 then we meet expectations, if we do better then we will be in the college football playoff conversation.

madddoggydawg•86 months

Bleacher Report is garbage.

FournetteForEver7•86 months

10-2 is good prediction

BayouBengal99•86 months

No way LSU 38 BYU 10 LSU 56 Chatt 0 LSU 31 Miss St 13 LSU 45 Syracuse 6 LSU 48 Troy 13 LSU 21 FL 10 LSU 28 Auburn 14 LSU 38 Miss 14 LSU 21 Red team 24 LSU 31 Ark 20 LSU 42 Tenn 17 LSU 27 TA&M 14 This LSU team may lose one more to either Aub or FL. We lose players every year but we don't fill holes like we did this year every year. That and O has placed a premium on 1vs1 competition in the spring, he also knows LSU wins and loses in the offseason. You get these boys ready for the big boys in the 4th quarter now with physical training making them go 10 more reps when they think they can't go anymore. GT

NFLU7•86 months

We're going to be undefeated? Lol.

Jabontik•86 months

LSU 28 red team 14. Fixed that for you

Tigah Jr•86 months

If Oregeron only loses 2 games in his first season Alleva may keep his job. I hope we lose 3.

FournetteForEver7•86 months

Yeah about that... I would never cheer for LSU to lose. Never

Mr. Hangover•86 months

frick you you piece of shite
