CBS Writer Gives Win Total Picks For SEC: "Write It Down In Ink: LSU Is Back"

by Staff Reporter

June 22, 202145 Comments

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

College Football writer Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports revealed his SEC win total picks for the upcoming season and has high hopes for LSU.

Sallee has the Tigers going over 8.5 wins, losing just one regular-season game at Ole Miss.

LSU

Over/under 8.5 wins

Wins: at UCLA, McNeese State, Central Michigan, at Mississippi State, Auburn, at Kentucky, Florida, at Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana-Monroe, Texas A&M

Losses: at Ole Miss

Analysis: Write it down in ink: LSU is back. The Tigers have one of the most talented offenses in the country, an experienced defense that is no longer coordinated by Bo Pelini and a healthy quarterback competition led by last year's opening day starter Myles Brennan. They have the potential to run the table but, since Ole Miss is so potent offensively, will miss out on the perfect regular season. With that said, over 8.5 wins is one of the best bets in the college football universe. Pick: Over 8.5 (+100)

I have the “want” to believe in this..

Flashback•35 months

Either he is a genius or an idiot. Theres no in between with this call.

Epaminondas•35 months

So he's predicting LSU will beat Alabama but lose to Ole Miss?

St Jean The Baptiste•35 months

Beating Bama? Yeah right. Losing to Ole Miss? WTF?

Scoob•35 months

This used to be our routine back in the 80's, and then in the 90's when the program revived under Dinardo. We'd be able to go in and beat the top conference team, then have a letdown game a couple weeks later (and it usually WAS Ole Miss or Miss State).

denvertiger•35 months

Losing to OM after a big win is a bit of a tradition.

RightWingTiger•35 months

I’ll never forget LSU beating the #1 Florida 28-21 in 1997 @ TS & then LOST to a shitty Ole Miss team the very next week 36-21. Back then that was just LSU being LSU!! Today’s LSU Football is a completely different beast than it was back in the 90’s & God willing they’ll NEVER revert back to those days again!

Barrett Sallee?? Don't take nothing he spew with a grain of salt!

BiggerBear•35 months

So believe it then?

CajunBullet•35 months

All I got to say is just win baby....Geaux Tigers!

GoldenGuy•35 months

I was going to say, “Wait, Ole Miss?” But the game from last year occurred to me and maybe they aren’t as bad as I think.

cadillac7563•35 months

He has a point, the over 8.5 wins is a great value bet. Idk if I can get behind the 1 loss season without seeing the defense first though

CanebreakCajun•35 months

This is the smartest man in the history of the all the world. Geaux Tigers.

reauxl tigers•35 months

He’s really smart in terms of getting clicks. Dude always has the worst takes.

jcaz•35 months

This will be one of those seasons where there will be no clear dominance in the SEC outside of maybe Bama. Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, A&M, and LSU are all capable. Maybe 2007 like.

CynicalTiger08•35 months

Bold move, but I'll allow it

SHMILL•35 months

He ain't lyin. Except for that Ole Miss garbage.

Tiger1988•35 months

Lots of pressure this season

Srobi14•35 months

Finally a sports writer that knows what he is talking about.

bluebuck1•35 months

This team believe they can win every game this year. With proper preparation, planning and execution, they will. But, believing and wanting is where winning starts.

luciouslou•35 months

That was not what I had in mind when I saw the over 8.5

Freddy238•35 months

Not a bad prediction. I been saying watch out for Ole Miss this year, all they need is a bend but dont break type defense and they would be in the hunt for sure.

RightWingTiger•35 months

I don’t think a Kiffin coached team has ever had a Defense that was worth a Shite……..I could be wrong BUT IM NOT!!!

Purple Tiger King•35 months

Barrett Sallee is an Auburn homer who has always hated LSU.

RightWingTiger•35 months

So Picking LSU to go 11-1 in the regular season, win the SEC West & make the CFP is Hating a Team?

Datbayoubengal•35 months

I realize now that he just hated Les Miles.

Oyster•35 months

Hope he is right. Now prove it.
