LSU's non-conference schedule looks really weak. And this doesn't look to be one of those Wade schedules where there aren't a lot of "big name" mid-major opponents who will quietly help LSU's metrics/NET ratings. This just looks like a weak schedule. Of course, that may be by design given there is a completely new staff, with only 3 players who played at LSU last season. I think the first month or two of the season will be McMahon and the players just trying to figure out what is the identity of the team.
I think 10-3 in non-conf. play is a very reasonable baseline given the schedule. There are no true road games on that schedule and the Thanksgiving tournament field looks really weak. Texas Tech and Wake Forest are the only notable opponents, but one game is at home and the other is a neutral site.
They will have to stack up wins a plenty in November and December because the SEC, for the second year in a row, did LSU no favors with an absolutely brutal January schedule.

You're not wrong, it's one of the weakest OOC schedules I've ever seen us play. We do have Texas Tech in SEC/B12 showdown later during conference play season, but before conference play Wake Forest is currently by far the toughest team we play which is pretty
I will say there's that Cayman Island Classic tournament but it's loaded with pretty meh teams overall. We start off by playing Illinois State who was 13-20 last year, so that wont help anything. We play the winner of Akron/Western Kentucky after that, which both those teams are real solid mid-majors so that should at least give us 1 decent OOC game, and should we win that play hopefully a pretty decent team from the other bracket. Could be Jalen Cook's Tulane team...
