What do yall think about the prediction to go 10-5 the remainder of the season?

I'll take it for sure right now

10-5 rest of the year would be nice. I think we can go 11-4 and get to 24-7 regular season. That would probably put us ranked around 12 in the AP poll.

IMO, five hardest games left:

2/6 @Miss State
2/9 Auburn
2/12 @Kentucky
2/23 Tennessee
3/6 @Florida

It would be huge if we get to 8-0 or 7-1 before the difficult part of our schedule hits. We should be favored in the next 5

would love to finish at least 12-6 in conference. That should lock up a tourney berth.

9-9 probably gets them in. 10-8 definitely does

I don't know if I'd quite go that far. It would depend on who those 9-10 wins were against and where LSU won them. If the 9-10 wins were most against the "bottom" of the league:
A&M, UGA, Vandy, Ark. SC (bottom meaning likely non-NCAAT teams), then those wins won't be all that great. But, if the 9-10 wins include multiple victories over the likes of UK, Tenn, Auburn, MSU, Florida, then they certainly look better.

The reason is because even though LSU's OOC SOS number is very good (thus far), they don't have a significant win in OOC play like they had last year with Michigan and Houston.

For me, 11-7 is the "lock" point. LSU should be favorite in the next 5 games and all are very winnable. If they can get to 8-0, then it's hard to see this team not finishing with at least 12 SEC wins.

For now, I's say LSU finishes:

22-9 Overall (12-6 in SEC)
T-3rd in SEC
NET: 20-25
#6 seed in NCAAT
