Thought when an East team rotated onto schedule it was a home and home setup in back to back years? Will we play at Athens in 2020?

Because the stupid expansion screwed up everything.

We went long enough without playing East teams before the BigXII refugees came in.

Because the Alabama fans at the SEC office made the schedule and thought it would benefit Alabama the best.

Home and home every five yrs. Each div has 7 members of which your team is one. Each team has one opposite div perm opponent. 5 rotating teams left...

name the 10. Minimum 3 losses with this line up and no dlinemen. If White stays that will help, but corner will be suspect. Hell you don’t even know if Fulton is coming back.
Defense will be a downgrade.
Offensive line will not improve UNLESS Ingram returns. If Thomas signs and is a starter, this is a VERY bad sign.

Losses will be at Texas - early in the season away from Tiger Stafium against a team that had an equal record and is playing in the Sugar Bowl.
BAMA - nothing to say - just a loss AT Bama
TAMU OR UF - Both of these teams will be MUCH better both offensively and defensively. Mond will be a good QB with another whole spring and Fisher.
UF - Mullen owns LSU both on offense and defense. He does enough to win.

Tennessee will win 9 to 10 games. The swing game will be at UF. With a spread offense, they have a chance to beat UF.
Losses to
BAMA
UGA
UF/ Utah

The reason they will be better is because their offense will improve.

Everyone except Alabama. Auburn and UF have to come to Death Valley. Texas will be hard fought. TAMU is gonna be in Baton Rouge. 9-3 with next year's schedule is unacceptable. Our offense SHOULD be much improved if for nothing else because of player experience. We return a lot of defensive talent, all of whom have been in Aranda's system their entire career.

I have said it before about next year's schedule:

12-0: Phenomenal and unexpected
11-1: Good year and should be in the playoffs
10-2: Acceptable
9-3: Unacceptable

Toss up (or probable loss) games in 2019 are:

Texas
Florida
Auburn
Texas A&M
Alabama

We should win AT LEAST 3 of those games, probably 4. Florida/LSU will likely be a top 10 undefeated matchup next year with us favored by VERY little only due to home field. I can see us losing that game close, but I can also see us winning a close one. With the state of Auburn I can't see them beating us at home. Same goes for TAMU. Bama will likely beat us until Saban is gone. I sure hope not, but 8 in a row is a tough streak to break mentally. Texas will be tough but Their strength is their mobile QB and big WRs which our DBs can handle pretty well, I think we can come away with a W if our offense has even a tiny bit of chemistry.

Tiger1988-I respect your opinion, now here is mines, Burrow is a better QB than Mond. Jacob Phillips will replace D. White in the middle, of course that is if White enters the draft like he should. Dline should return intact. Fulton will return to man one spot and Stingley will man the other.

We will have T. Harris, E.Monroe, or J. Stevens, K. Joseph playing alongside G.Delpit at Safety. K. Vincent will man the nickel.

Offensively, just the addition of elite running backs will improve the run game. While you claim Texas team will be improved, well I also stake the claim that so will LSU on the offensive line. And Burrow will have all spring to improve his timing with the WR's.

And how do you think our offense DOESN'T improve? We return almost everyone, including 2 MONSTER runningbacks.

Tennessee is my second fav team but they will LIKELY lose 4 games if not more.

Miss St
Florida
Georgia
Bama

are all losses.

Were you one of the ones projecting a 6-6 record this year? Because if you have that outlook in next year when majority of this team is coming back you must’ve been really down coming into this season.

Lol dude give it up or admit you aren’t an LSU fan. One team is in the Fiesta bowl and one had 5 wins this year. LSU also returns the majority of their team.
