I am by no means saying LSU will make the playoffs. So please don't be an arse-hat and misunderstand what I'm saying but nobody thought Georgia would do what they did last year after going 6-6before last year.

Actually, UGA went 7-5(8-5).

UGA also played an easy schedule (regular season), had immense help from a top 4 QB prospect, two former 5 star 2400+ yard career rushers who were seniors, a 3rd 5 star RB, a loaded OL, and experienced WRs. That was coming into the season. LSU has absolutely none of that.

Sure nobody really expected UGA to go to the playoffs, but many expected a 10 win regular season. Hell after the first 2 games (ND, App St wins), the FPI was spot on predicting them to finish the season 11-1 with their lone loss being to Auburn.

There is almost nobody but LSU fans expecting us to do any better than 7-5. Realistically with the OL developments and no chance of Fulton, my 9-3 prediction now goes down to 8-4.

We aren't even close in comparison of anything right now to suggest we'd have an UGA type season other than, 'shite happens'.
