The BigLead.com, which is part of the USA Today Sports network, had a very big and bold projection about the LSU-Alabama game in November: Both teams will be undefeated heading into the matchup.
quote:

LSU-Alabama will be a matchup of unbeatens:

OK, so one part of this isn’t bold. Predicting Alabama to lose would be. But I’m not that brave. LSU enters the season with a stifling defense and offensive question marks. In order to get to November blemish-free, the Tigers must beat Miami, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi State. Brace yourselves. It will happen and the teams will enter No. 1 and No. 2.
In order for that to happen LSU has to the run the table and win these eight straight games:

9/2 Miami (FL)
9/8 Southeastern LA
9/15 at Auburn
9/22 Louisiana Tech
9/29 Ole Miss
10/6 at Florida
10/13 Georgia
10/20 Mississippi St.

Could it happen?

We’ll go undefeated, including a win against Bama. We’ll lose to UGA in SECCG. UGA goes to playoff. Bama jumps LSU into playoff. I melt.

I think we loose to Georgia in the regular season and beat them in the rematch in December. Your scenario is deep in the minds of the Crimson Sith-Lords of Birmingham however.

If this prediction has any chance of becoming true our OL and QB position are much better than consensus from CFB analysts.

It's hard to believe Alabama will be undefeated to that point.

Are u kidding?? LOL Have you seen their schedule?? They'll be unbeaten, don't worry! LSU, I'm not so sue about because they have a much tougher schedule than Alabama. But it would be nice if they could run the table, and then meet Alabama in a battle of unbeatens.

Looking at LSU's recruiting classes for 17, 16, 15 and 14 - 7th, 2nd, 5th, and 2nd. Loaded.

The QB is the missing link. Burrow has help all over the field - he just needs to get the ball to the play makers, quickly and accurately (Joe LOVES that assignment)

Undefeated before (and after) Bama? Possible. SEC Champs? Likely, IMHO. (I already bet all my lunch money on it)

There have been a number of seasons in the last decade where we were a good QB away from a championship year. 2010 comes immediately to mind.

it could happen...if you listen to the majority of sports analysts they would have you believe our conference opponents have improved all the while LSU has stayed just par for the course...well I call BS! Defense is solid with some depth. we have all the reason to believe Burrow will succeed with the weapons @ WR and TE(moreau will get some looks). and you cant tell me LSU recruiters havent gotten us a decent brusier of a back regardless if hes unproven. just check the history books if you need validation. also we could have recruited RB in off-season if CEO and co. were concerned there, coach O knows this is a huge year for him. but we didnt...seems to me they are comfortable @ RB.

If we can get there with only one loss (Auburn), that game would have the meaning it had a few years ago. Of course, beating the Gumps would make it that much sweeter.

Very well could happen if the tigers could halfway good play out of QB1

I don’t see this happening, but it would make for a grand night in tiger stadium. I think LSU would be ranked #1 in this scenario. Of course, the last time this matchup pitted 2 top 5 teams against one another was the infamous 1.7 ypc game in which Alabama beat the brakes off LSU
