Southern grad?
I could show you the data but you probably wouldn’t even know what to do with it was laid in front of you retard

Of the few prediction sites and metrics I’ve seen have us at minimum 77% to get in at 9-3. ESPNs playoff predictor has us at 79% and one of the advanced metrics sites has us at 84%. It’s because all the other things we’d need to happen to get in at 9-3 are favored to happen such as Kentucky dropping a game to either Florida or at Mizzou.

I predicted 10-2. I did not believe that we could lose to Kentucky, although I did have losses to Ole Miss just because of emotion and it being an away game, and also Alabama who just has our number. Now we are under pressure to win out just to be 9-3.

Lots of pressure on Lane Kiffin and Sam Levitt right now. Any more losses and we’re a 4 or 5 loss team- two more losses in a row, and then a meltdown at Arkansas, and the pitchforks would come out for Kiffin in year one. Not that I think he would get fired, but the heat would be on him pretty severely.

So you completely overlooked Texas and Tennessee?

I predicted 9-3 and fringe playoff birth.

If we had beaten Kentucky I'd feel a lot better about that now. I called 3 losses in this group before season started:

@Ole Miss
Texas A&M (they are wayyy worse than anyone thought preseason)
Alabama
Texas
@Tennessee
@Auburn

9-3 wasn’t that bad. Losing to Kentucky is what threw it off.

I’m at the point where LSU needs to win out in dominating fashion including the bowl game for me to call this first season a success. Bonus points if we backdoor in the CFP then steal a CFP game.

I’d be happy with 9-3.

But I realize that 6-6 is still an option as well.
No stop

7-5 is an option, but you wouldn't bet 10 dollars that we'd lose to Arkansas. They've beat Vandy, Tulsa, and North Alabama. They've lost by 24+ points 4 times this year.

I had us losing to Tennessee and Texas before the season, so my floor is 7-5 now. I don't see us losing back to back home games, especially after how we lost vs Bama. I think we beat Texas, but that Tennessee game i could see us losing.

8-4 is my guess.

It’s more of the fact that LSU’s best win up to this point is LA Tech


I have enjoyed the beatdowns of Clemson, Aggie, State, and Auburn. Yeah, those are all mediocre teams. But so are we. And in years past, LSU struggled to beat down even mediocre teams.
