Depends on how fast our transfers and especially freshmen grow up on the DL. I know our DBs have some problems but trench play makes a huge difference for that.

Right now I say "No" but I hope that the team changes my mind.

I think we make the playoff. Just can’t lose any games we are not supposed to lose. Cant say I am a fan of the opener being USC. I like having a cupcake to iron out any wrinkles.

What about our schedule makes you think we “should” make the playoffs?

We finished 12th last year. Losing JD5 is going to have a big impact. I'd say it's about 40/60 chance knowing what we know now.

I say…….we make it.


This thing is wide open, like our offense.

This field doesn’t seem too tough to crack, like our defense.

Yes imo. I say we get an at large between the 5-11 seed. Honestly I think the SEC is going to be guaranteed 4 teams every year in this new format and maybe 5 sometimes depending upon how things shake out and the overall strength of the league. I think 5 make it this year; Texas, Georgia, Bama, LSU, and Ole Miss. Then 3 from the Big 10; Ohio State, Oregon, and one of USC/Penn State/ Michigan. The winner of the Big 12 (KSU or Okie State). And 2 ACC (Clemson and NC State). And the one automatic G5 team is my best guess.

Kelly better get this team in the playoffs in year 3. His seat will be heating up pretty quickly if he doesn't.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I’ve predicted “yes” @ 10-2. I think we roll into ole miss undefeated. In the meantime, our young D linemen begin to develop and add needed depth. I think our balanced offense can overcome some of the D-ficiencies in the early going.
Idk who the losses are. I don’t do the “win”, “lose” thing while going through the schedule. Sports doesn’t work out that way. Ie-2022 lose to fsu/beat Bama. Things don’t usually work out on paper. That’s why we watch sports.

I think Vegas says that if you bet a $100 that LSU doesn’t make the CFP and we do You lose a $160 so Vegas says No. It’s time to understand that what we feel and what Vegas doesn’t is that Vegas has no feelings or bias in it. No one has expectations for LSU making it except Us & the players/staff in the locker room. So temper the expectations and don’t melt when it doesn’t happen. CBK are building for elite, we imho just don’t have the horses yet.

I agree that 4-5 SEC teams each year will make it. I think this year there are 7-8 SEC teams that have a chance. Georgia, Ole Miss, Mizzou, LSU, Tennessee, Bama, Texas, Oklahoma are what I would consider playoff contenders. It’s really just going to come down to a few big games between the 4 & 5 teams.

We have the roster to make it...It's on BK. I think a lot of people have become complacent and satisfied with winning a 10th game in a meaningless bowl game.
