A: Make the Playoffs
B: Win a Natty
C: Lose to Clemson
D: Lose 4 or more games
E: Beat Bama
F: Lead the SEC in total yards
G: The Rant will be calling for Blake Baker’s head

I’ll say A, E, F, and G

A, E, F

H, beat the hell out of Ole Miss.

I think year 1 we will see LSU go anywhere from
9-3 to 11-1. Likely a playoff birth.

The schedule is pretty brutal, but sets up okay.

7-0 between Clemson, LA Tech, McNeese, Kentucky, Moo St, Auburn, Arky.

If we go 3-2 vs Ole Miss, Aggie, Bama, Texas, Tennessee, LSU is a lock for the playoffs. Likely most plausible scenario is 10-2, with the 2 losses coming in the 5 games mentioned above.

@ Ole Miss, Aggie, Texas are our hardest games.

D is certainly not out of the question and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if none of those options happened.

I can imagine the outrage when Kiffin is caught on video mouthing the words.

I think there’s a pretty decent chance none of these things happen. I could see us losing 3-4 games in year one but looking very promising for the future. If we make the playoffs in year one of the Kiffin era, I’ll be pleasantly surprised but not shocked.

10-2, play one away playoff game losing to Notre dame in a snowstorm.

Losses at OMiss and @Tennessee. We do NOT make the SECCG.

Our biggest problem will be at QB due to injuries. In fact, I do not believe that Sam will make it through three complete games...he'll go out in the OMiss game and not return for the season. Be happy to be wrong about this.

What I see happening is him getting ran out of Baton Rouge Gerry Dinardo style in 3 years if not sooner. He's gonna let us down. Watch and see.

G is the only guarantee on this list. I think A and E happens and I’d be shocked if D happens

They aint going 10-2. Look at the Nov schedule. Ray Charles can see that its virtually impossible.
Gonna say 8-4 @ best. The OL will continue to stink, along with the running game. The defense will be gassed after Halloween. This up-tempo BS that everyone wanted never freaking works. Kiffin will always chase $$. Thats what he does. Make my day
