2.5 point underdogs for Clemson game.

They have the over under at 8.5 wins on the year.

We have the 10th best odds to win natty which is set at +2000, right behind Bama.

Garrett Nussmeier has the best odds to win Heisman with odds of +800. Which I thought is pretty interesting.

I wonder when was the last time the Heisman favorite was on a preseason unranked team.

We're going to be a top ten team to open the year.
But the answer is Travis Hunter this year.

Vegas is playing it safe..Harder schedule, new OL, ton of transfers, QB who has potential but needs to prove it, alot of potential but will Kelly/staff coach them up and not have 2 or 3 WTF type of games where they just don't show up for a half or the whole game. Have to Win G1 to set the tone. Lose to Clemson and you have a very hard raod to get into the CFP.

Are you suggesting that LSU will be unranked to start the season?

Clemson and bama likely losses based on history and game location. Ole miss depends on how good they are. Hard to know about OU since it’s at their plce

Grab those ND OL's that just entered the Portal and it could happen.

Sly Cro (Davis) say "No, I'm Good. I already got Thompson."

LSU should be somewhere between 5-10. Top 10 for sure. The opportunity is there to make a run. IF we beat Clemson week 1, watch out for the tigahs!

I don’t see a harder schedule. It’s the same conference schedule as last year. We have Ole Miss and Bama on the road but I see both of them having a pretty sharp drop off from last year. Florida and A&M are at home. Clemson is tougher than USC but at least we’re not breaking in two new coordinators and a new qb game one next year.


The schedule sets up pretty favorably Imo.

Well considering we have a been a consensus top ten team in all the way to early polls. You and your boys need another water cooler topic.

Hope your right..like I said alot of potential with the transfer guys but they have to jel on the OL and the team has to show up consistently.
If they win versus Clemson they can set the tone but lose G1 and it's a very slim margin..as then you only get 1 loss which is very hard in the SEC
