re: Unofficial season prediction thread: what does your gut tell you? Expectations?

9-3 with a ton of "nail-biters"

Wisc. close throughout, LSU pulls away late
MSU - LSU jumps out early. State closes to make it tight. LSU pulls away late
AU - LSU does a good job against them defensively, but AU finds a way to win late.
UF - LSU looks great early but fails to capitalize on chances to put UF away. The Gators come back to win
OM - 2nd best game of the year for LSU. One of the few LSU/OM home games in recent years that isn't close. LSU by 10+
Bama - The ONE time this season TS lives up to it's billing. Tight, tense, exciting, LSU wins late
Ark. - Big let down. Game is much closer than it should be. LSU barely hangs on.
A&M - Aggies jump all over LSU early. LSU comes back to make it tight. A&M wins late. (Think Ole Miss - 2013)

3rd in West. Bowl game against Big 10 or ACC opponent
