1-12, rank the level of difficulty of LSU's 2012 opponents in your opinion

1. Alabama: Obvious reasons
2. @ Florida: The Gators will be hungry this year in the Swamp. Will have a very good D and now more experience at QB.
3. South Carolina: Good defense to go along with Lattimore
4. @ Arkansas: Tyler Wilson and Knile Davis will make for a very dangerous attack
5. @ Auburn: Mett's first road start in Jordan-Hare
6. Washington: Week 2, Keith Price is very dangerous with his arm and with his legs.
7. @ Texas A&M: Hostile atmosphere in Kyle Field
8. Miss State: Dan Mullen is tricky, and they'll probably have a solid D
9. Ole Miss: New coach not inheriting very much
10. North Texas
11. Idaho
12. Towson

I think I'd put Arky as #2 and @Auburn ahead of Carolina at home.
1. Bama
2. @ Arky
3. @ Florida
4. @ Auburn
5. Carolina
6. @ A&M
7. Washington
then the rest like you have.

Good list, only change I would make is swap South Carolina and Arkansas. Playing in Fayetteville this year will certainly be more challenging.

Bama - top 5 opponent
Arkansas - has been a tough game since the Right Rev. Nutt
USC - has a ton of defense, Latimore coming back
UF - they still have talent
A&M - not ready for SEC ball just yet
MSU
Washington
Ole Miss
North Texas
Idaho
Towson

1. Bama -there shall be t-bagging....
2. @ Arky - golden boot game may decide who wins the SEC West
3. @ Florida - I am from Florida and I know everyone wants payback especially since we may stop playing them every year
4. USC -great RBs...
5. @ Auburn - I was there last time we played at auburn... No Cam Newton, no chance of victory
6. @ A&M - A welcome to SEC beat down
7. Washington - last time we played them it was far too close. Jake Locker is gone though so should be an easy win

Absolutely no justification for having this game 4th.
It's either 2nd or 1st.

We aren't losing to South Carolina at home. Even though I feel we are 14 points better than Florida and Auburn on the road, it's still a game away from Tiger Stadium.
I like my list.

SC is at home? I thought it was away for some reason due to a switch

Nope, very much at home.
We lose our return trip to Lexington, which sucks.

frick lexington. been there twice. sucked in 2007 for football and had a great time in 09 for basketball until it snowed for half of the drive home

Never been. I wanted to win in every SEC stadium while I was in college. Would have happened if A&M and Missouri didn't frick everything up.
Only missing Kentucky and South Carolina on the East side, which would have happened in 2012 (UK) and 2013 (USC).

1/2) Alabama/@ Arkansas - Alabama will have the better defense and a good offense. Arkansas will have a good offense and homefield. Both will be the toughest games of the regular season.
3) USCe - More stability at QB and Latt
4/5) @UF/@AU - both teams are rebuilding and have big coaching changes. both teams have QB issues. Both games are on the road, in very hostile environments, against big name teams that have been recruiting well. They may have been average last year, but they could be entirely remade teams this year.
6) @ aTm - Road game against a team that should have the talent and got rid of the choke artist HC.
7) Washington - home game for LSU against a 2nd tier PAC school.
8) MSU - home game against a team we own. May be a good team, but just isn't quite on LSUs level.
9) Ole Miss - I'd put them lower, but the rest of our OOC is a joke.
10/11/12) NTU/Idaho/Towson - doesn't really matter. arrange them in any order you like. LSU wins big.

@ arkansas at #2 (or as bayoubengals03 put it 1a)
Part because of their want after last year, part because it is away, part because of the pressure this game will have at the end of our undefeated run up to that point.

I'll put them into groups in order of difficulty :
1.)Top Ten opponents where we better have our best day in order to beat:
'Bama and @Arky
2.)Top 25 teams who can beat us if we turn the ball over 2 times or more:
South Carolina/ @Aub/ @Florida / @ATM (I feel like LSU is better right now than these 4 teams but not 21 points better)
3.)Descent teams that could screw up a great season:
Miss State and Washington (Both teams have given us a tough game recently)
4.)We won:
Ole Miss/ Towson/ Idaho/ NTU
