I figured 9-3 or 10-2 based on the portal haul we had. Cannot see this team making it to 9-3.

9-3, looking like a 5 loss season based on how soft the offense has looked against mediocre defenses. Texas and Tennessee defenses will wreak havoc

I hoped for a 10-2 season but 8-4 seems more and more realistic, if not 7-5

Things are about what should have been expected. I’m good so far.

A playoff berth would have been exceeding expectations.

I expected 9-3 this season, with hopes of sneaking into the playoffs if there were several 9-3 teams in the mix.

After the Kentucky loss, I expected to finish 8-4. Still think 8-4.

I originally thought 8-4. Now I’m thinking 7-5. Bama is just a better team all around. LSU is not in the same ballpark with them.

I got downvoted into oblivion for saying we'd be anywhere between 7-5 and 9-3.

When the hire initially happened we had so many on this board thinking 12-1 was the absolute floor.

9-3 but 8-4 with a big upset like Alabama or Texas thrown in there would have worked. We are a very flawed team thats leads to alot of inconsistencies. This team just can't seem to step up with a big play to win a game. Its just one of those years.

I saw Alabama and Texas as sure losses, Ole Miss A&M and Tennessee as toss ups.
Didn't see the Kentucky game coming before the season.

So in my opinion, we have a surprise loss, we're 1-1 in the tossups with one left, and a better chance against Texas than I expected.

Team still has to play, can't just quit now. That will be big to build on if they can finish well.

Mine were 8-4 or 7-5. Do I wcheer and want us to win every game, yes, but this is the first year under a new staff. Blake baker is gone next year due to his defense being great. This team has a lot of potential and will be amazing next year. bama will flame out in the playoffs again, and doesn't have a bright future.

I’m tired of losing to Alabama man. They aren’t good. They’re not. I need a scientific hypotheses on why LSU can’t beat them because they are nothing special and aren’t winning anything of note this year. They have that fat pussy deboer coaching them and he looks like he constantly can’t believe what is happening. It’s way more embarrassing losing to Alabama with him at the helm than when they had Saban. They take shits and wipe their arse just like us. Just annoying as frick losing to this average arse team. I’m tired man, they need to have their season ended at this time of year and not us.

9-3. This was never going to be a 10-2 or better and was not expecting 4 losses.
