Someone did not take statistics. ESPN is not predicting LSU to go 11-1. Just because the % of 11 games is higher than 50% does not mean ESPN thinks LSU will win 11 games. In fact based on ESPN’s numbers the chances are very low.

Exactly - four games at 75%, means we’re likely to lose one of those four. Let’s just stick it to Bama.

Exactly! If you crunch those numbers, I think the corresponding prediction is for a 9-3 or 10-2 regular season.

I don't care what ESPN says. What does Vegas say?

that's not an 11-1 prediction, that's just odds of winning

"tat's not an 11-1 prediction, that's just odds of winning"
Correct. Think of it this way:Take 3 cards--2 aces and 1 deuce. Shuffle them face down, then turn one over. Odds are 66.7% it will be an ace. Do this 12 times, shuffling each time. Each time you do it represents a game in which you have a 66.7% chance of winning (turning up an ace) and a 33.3 chance of losing (turning up the deuce). But overall, you're likely to win 8 times, not 12.

LSU returns 16 starters, with as talented as they are to begin with, this number is huge. We get Chaisson back too. This dude is a big deal and makes us A LOT harder to scheme against. I am high on this team too.

Not to mention that Tyler Shelvin and Apu Ika are going to be studs as well. Plus Jacoby Stevens back there in addition to Delpit at safety and quarters is going to be awesome as well.

Don't forget Stingley and Emery. Those boys will battle for SEC FOY.

I don't worry too much about predictions one way or the other and usually just enjoy the season one game at a time.

I don't think so. The grammar is impeccable and none of the words in the article are misspelled.

so i understand this article is not predicting LSU to go 11-1. However, if they were to go 11-1 with their only loss to Bama, im curious if this means a playoff birth? I guess it depends alot on Notre Dame and Pac 10 champ quality, etc.

That indicates a 2.8% chance of going undefeated, 8.3% to go 11-1 with the one loss to Alabama.

I just hope we fly under the radar, avoid injuries, and keep our heads right through the rest of the summer with no legal issues.

I really want to believe that we will be 11-1 when the season ends but until I see this new, improved, high scoring offense with my own eyes I have serious reservations.

I got news for you buddy, we could role our 2018 offense out there with this 2019 defense and go 11-1....

It's gonna take something slot worse then mediocre offense to screw this year up

I’m guarantee we will be undefeated on 8/30. It’s why they actually play the games. Injuries and poor play can derail what may be a great year. I think this team is very good, looking forward to this season!!

ESPN picked 6 wins last year and was dead wrong. If you're an LSU fan, you should not be happy about this.

Why? We should go undefeated if they always underestimate us.
