100% Correct Prediction for the Season - No Questions

Brandon Harris is probably better than you think. He’s not going to be Drew Brees when it comes to winging it around the yard, but he’s going into his fourth year as a quarterback with SEC experience and with the potential to be the type of leader who just doesn’t screw it all up.

Wut???

It's hard to win the SEC, let alone the National Championship. That said, unless there are some catastrophic injuries that occur (i.e. to someone like Harris, Beckwith, Fournette, Pocic, Key, etc), Les doesn't have ANY excuses for not being seriously in the hunt for the SEC and National title.

This team is very experienced and talented. Plus, the schedule is probably as favorable as it gets for LSU.

They catch Wisc. in a bit of a rebuilding year
They get the other two best teams in the SECW (Bama and OM) at home.
The rotating east opponent is a Mizzou team with a lot of questions (at home)
All the road opponents seem to have some significant questions -- AU (who is their QB?, RB?); UF (was last season a bit of a fluke with a 1st year HC? They have a former walk-on at QB); Ark (They'll run it well and should have a good defense, but that late season run has as much to do with a Sr. QB finally "clicking" in his last season); A&M (defense should be better, but the program has been a trainwreck since about Oct. '15)

Man for man, LSU should be better than every opponent except maybe Bama. However, that game is in TS where LSU has blown chances to put them away late in the last two meetings.
