The 3 biggest games remaining all at home.

We still don’t know for sure if Ole Miss is the real deal. We will know all we need to know about Bama come Saturday and we saw what Oklahoma is.

Road games:
A&M - definitely looks like a winnable game considering how they’ve looked so far offensively.
Florida - in tank mode looking for a new coach.
Arkansas - arguably the best team out of these 3 but still winnable. They don’t have it all together and will implode like SC did.

Vandy played Mizzou tough but honestly think that’s a little more about Mizzou falling apart internally. They can’t handle success.

Maybe I’m crazy but I’ve seen enough out of Nuss to trust him in pulling off a big upset win at home over either Bama or Ole Miss. both is a big ask. I can see them taking care of Oklahoma at home.


The inconsistency of this team has me seeing either 10-2 finish or an 8-4 finish. We’ve all seen those flashes of what they could be. Hell for all we know they could finish with wins over Bama and Ole Miss and losses to Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Maybe two SEC wins left. Florida and Vandy. The rest will be L’s

Truth is we are good enough to beat every team talent wise but we can play bad enough to lose to anyone. It’s perplexing to say the least.

The path to that is definitely there still. Despite the sky falling in the minds of many Tiger “fans”.

Honestly losing to Ole Miss in a barn burner then winning out might be the path. You need to be red hot in November.

I can live with 9-3 as long as one of those wins is over either Bama or ole Miss. going 0-3 in big games at home would blow

Not really perplexing to be honest. The difference between average and good to great teams is their ability to play consistently. The more talent a team has also leads to more consistent play because if one unit has an off day they’ll likely be brought up by other units. LSU is lacking in these regards.

Just not going to beat Ole Miss and Alabama. Lose two of these three Texas A&M, Arkansas. Oklahoma. 7-5.

I see a team good enough to win all but one, but will get out coached and lose two or three more.

The only coaches on the schedule that can/will out coach BK and our staff are Kiffin and DeBoer. But honestly even DeBoer hasn’t been in games like he will see starting Saturday vs Georgia.

Yall act like BK isn’t a good in game coach. That’s his strong suit. He might wiff on hires and drop a random game due to overlooking the opponent but overall he’s a good coach.

Look back at the come back wins he’s had just while at LSU. That doesn’t happen if your coach and staff aren’t good. He’s had way more big coaching moments than WTF moments here. He hasn’t lost to a BAD coach since he’s been here.

What makes you think he won't? When is the last time he won a "big game"? Heck, the Nichols coach outcoached Kelly.

Our talent is simply not as good as several upcoming opponents.

I agree with this take.

Road Games: aTm, Florida, Arkansas

- we shouldn't lose any of these, but we lose 1 of them.

Home games: Ole Miss, Bama, OU

- we shouldn't win any of these games, but we win 1 of them.

Finish the season with 4 loses.

I’m sticking with 8-4. Only because the defense just isn’t talented enough.
