I’d take the over.

Even if they lose to Clemson I think 9-3 is an attainable record

I think it’s a perfect line for those interested in having half the money on the under and half on the over.

I'll take the over easy. That said, this team could go undefeated if the chemistry is strong or it can go under if Nuss gets hurt. Ironically him using legs a little more could be an x factor.

It will look good for us if we beat CU on the road but it's stupid scheduling considering in this era you don't get credit for big wins as much as you get slapped for losing. Whatever the record it's playoffs or bust

1. We are opening vs a top 5 team in their stadium. Why did we agree to play at Clemson first after getting burned vs. Texas? We are a bigger brand than them and should have made them play in our stadium first.

2. We always seem to play OOC against teams in their prime. 2025 Clemson, 2023 FSU

The committee does not reward OOC wins but does punish for losses. All risk and no reward

9-3 aside from the opener, BK typically has 2 games a season when the team is not ready to even step on the field and play the game.

How did Texas burn us?

What does this matter? Are you expecting another Covid outbreak?

Is he supposed to predict how good each team will be when scheduling games that will be happening in 5-10 years?

Another question, Do you think the people scheduling games for Alabama, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, Georgia, etc also suck at their jobs?

Well 9-3 ain’t gonna cut this year for BK because that means he misses the playoffs again. So therefore his seat gets ridiculously hot and practically has one foot out the door.

If Kelly goes under 8.5 he needs to be firmly on the hot seat

Firmly.

Doubt it... but he should negotiate a retirement/step-down package

Why not? Looking at the schedule, the only games LSU probably won’t be favored in are Alabama and Clemson…..and maybe Ole Miss. All 3 of those are on the road.

We should be favored in all 7 home games plus the road games at Vandy and OU

Everyone is jumping on the OU hype train and thinking they could be this years Indiana. They got the best QB and RB in the portal and upgraded their line.

I think both teams will be 9-2 at night in Norman for a playoff and Atlanta spot on the line
