I don't think so.
Negative: 7-5
Positive: 11-1
Realistic: 9-3
I only say 9-3 realistic in a holistic view and knowing that every week in the SEC can lead to losing a game you should win on paper. That said, when looking at each individual game I can't find 3 that we should lose. I think the Auburn game will be a close loss just because it is so early in the season and right after what will be a very physical game against Moo State. Other than that, the Bama game will always be epic and close so we could lose that one (although I certainly hope we break that streak). It is then extremely difficult to pinpoint any other game we would lose. Trouble is that history shows we have found ways to lose games we should win (97 Ole Miss game the week after beating #1 UF comes to mind).

Gimmies: 4 non conference games Miss State, Florida
Toss ups: At USCe, at Bama, at OM, Ark, A&M, Aub
Think we go 3-3, or 4-2 in toss ups
Realistic: 9-3/10-2

Negative: 7-8 wins
Realistic: 9-10 wins
Positive: 11-12 wins
Although, to be honest, anything from 8-11 wins could be a realistic expectation.

I'm with you, but I think we improve 1 game on last year and go 9-3. This all hinges on the defense not dropping off at all though, which I'm not certain is a guarantee at this point.

Stupid negative: 6-6
Negative: 7-5 at best
Mostly negative but more realistic:
8-4
Realism: 9-3 but knows 8-4 or 10-2 could happen and realizes it.
Optimistic but still fairly realistic: 10-2
Optimistic: 11-1
Stupid optimistic: 12-0
Negative: 7-5 at best

Sounds about right. I think we'll go 9-3.
People have their purple and gold glasses on this time of year. Regardless of how good we are, the SEC West is stacked! Every single one of those games is a potential loss. It would not surprise me a bit if we lost to AL, Aub, Ole Miss and aTm and maybe Ark and/or SC.

Doesn't compute....I'm labeled a nega-tiger but believe we will finish 11-1. How does that work?
Posted on 8/21/15 at 10:32 am to ell_13
The Hat is in deep doo doo if the Tigers go 8-4.

It would be catastrophic. We have FOUR rent a wins on the damn schedule.

Past results are generally a good indicator of future results. LSU's ranking in the preseason poll has generally been a pretty good indicator of where they ultimately finish the regular season (using the Coaches' poll for reference)
2005 - (Preseason) #6, (end of reg season)#3
2006 - (Preseason) #9, (end of reg season)#5
2007 - (Preseason) #2, (end of reg season)#2
2008 - (Preseason) #6, (end of reg season)NR
2009 - (Preseason) #9, (end of reg season)#14
2010 - (Preseason) #16, (end of reg season)#12
2011 - (Preseason) #4, (end of reg season)#1
2012 - (Preseason) #1, (end of reg season)#6
2013 - (Preseason) #13, (end of reg season)#14
2014 - (Preseason) #13, (end of reg season)#24
There really hasn't been a single year in Miles' tenure where LSU greatly exceeded preseason expectations. What past history tells me is that when LSU has a really good team, it is generally known from the outset. Under Miles, every year LSU finished in the top 10 they were ranked in the top 10 to start the season. Of course you could make the argument that may be because the preseason rankings develop some sort of "self fulfilling prophecy" in the minds of the voters.
Looking at this year, LSU is starting ranked #13. 10 years of prior history indicates that they will most likely finish the regular season ranked somewhere between #10-#20. IMO, that puts their final record around 8-4 or 9-3
