Two teams definitely have better head coaches. The one we're unsure of is taking over a team that stomped us last year, and brings a lot back.

Mississippi State went on to get blown the frick out by teams we beat last year and finished 4-4 in conference. That's like saying that people expect us to lose to troy again this year because they beat us last year.

Miami is on what, a 3 game losing streak?

We did.. beat Auburn last year, right?

UGA and Alabama - I'll give you that. However, they are both home games... this is a new era if LSU is ok with us not splitting that or doesn't expect us to split that.

Texas A&M hasn't beat us since they've been in the conference, and unless something changed, Jimbo didn't light it up in recruiting for 2017, finishing #17 overall.

The team this year at LSU, from what we as fans know, should be a much improved defense and an offense that is still in the works, but has improved in all the spots they were criticized in last year. The smallest amount of research would show anyone that we have top talent in the country in most of our secondary, our line backers, the Dline (having multiple 5 stars and returning talent), on offense we have a transfer and several other top recruits who are expected to be able to perform, we have the #1 wide out in the country and he's currently behind a different recruit we got, along with what.. 10 others? We are far deeper on OL - and....

We should be ok with losing these games based on media predictions, furthermore, our local media shouldn't have the knowledge or counter arguments I just made?

Ok - whatever.
