I am trying to figure out which four games you think we are, without a doubt, going to lose. Are there really four teams on LSU's schedule that are better than us right now?
Nope, there aren't 4 teams that are better however we lost to two teams that we were better than last year in winning the MNC.
Bama is getting better however they play us at LSU.
Georgia is loaded but they play us at LSU as well.
Auburn isn't as talented but we play them at Auburn.
South Carolina isn't as talented yet we play them at South Carolina.
Florida is loaded (although their defensive backfield seems weakened recently) yet we play them at Florida.
Arkansas isn't loaded yet we play them at Arkansas.
It isn't whether we're better, it's going to be how well our young QB's manage the game. The early part of our schedule gives our QB's a little bit of time prior to SEC play beginning with Auburn.
I'm thinking 8-4 at worst and anything better is excellent in my view. It's a crap shoot. There's always the fact that LSU has enough talent and good coaching to go undefeated as well.

But your worth as a team is proved out over the course of the season. Follow me for a moment...
For us to finish 8-4, it means we were 4-4 in conference play. There is no reasonable chance for us to lose a non-conference game.
Last year in the SEC, five teams finished better than 4-4. Then, three teams were 4-4: Miss. State, Alabama and Arkansas.
Are you suggesting that next year, we will be just as good as Miss. State, Alabama or Arkansas last year? Or that there will be four or five teams that finish ahead of us in the SEC?
I just don't think that is possible.

I'm thinking we win one out of Ga, Aub, FL, and USC. Then we also lose one we shouldnt (Miss. St, AL, OM). There's your 4.
I do think we will be a much better team towards the end of the year than we are at the beginning. So if we can manage to win the Aub game, we may also have a shot to knock off Ga or USC. That would put us at 9-3.
But even then, will 5-3 be enough to get to the SEC ship? 9-3 at best puts us in the Cap 1 bowl, and more likely in the Cotton. I'm betting a lot of you would be ranting about that as well.
