A&M and Florida at 9-3 are bold predictions. I expect 8-4 and 7-5 respectively.

For the Aggies, I don't think Marcell Reed is a very good QB and their defense has questions. (Yes, I know he ran all over us in one the most embarrassing 2nd halves of a game in recent years).

Florida has a very tough schedule.

Comical how many of you believe this to be true… just do the simple math of buyout, big name head coach you expect, roster, revenue sharing… You’ll understand why this take is a waste of time

The hypocrisy was too much for me too. Many instances of it. The first big straw was the fsu fiasco like you stated where he contradicted himself all year saying they emphatically should be in if they went undefeated only to swap everything he stood for about results mattering at the last second. Many other instances since. His latest involves lsu. He says he is one of those on side of fence that thinks Kelly is elite unlike the ppl who say he’s a fraud…says 11-1 record this year would justify the elite ppl and 7-5 justifies the fraud crowd but he picks them to go 8-4. Just another example of him talking out both sides of his mouth. He also had lsu winning the sec over Texas three months ago. What changed? He let success go to his head

With Kelly's beat team since he's been here , he's gonna have his worst season, I don't see it.

No one has any faith in Kelly as a coach. All of the bullshite gets put to rest with a win @ Clemson. If he loses Saturday then watch the media pile on.

beginning of the end. I have high hopes, but this is as good of a roster as he can build, so this year will be a good barometer.

Not just Kelly but many top coaches took awhile to figure out the new landscape

Kelly's buyout after this year and the next 2 seasons. Short of Todd Graves paying for all of it, there's just no way he's going anywhere anytime soon. In my opinion, he's got at least 4 more seasons.

4 - $54 million
5 - $45 million
6 - $36 million

To me it really comes down to the Clemson game. If we lose to Clemson 8-4 isn’t that crazy of a prediction. If we beat Clemson sky is the limit and that prediction would almost surely be wrong. Clemson got drug by Georgia last year in the opener then went through a dogshit ACC schedule and still made the playoffs. LSU doesn’t have that luxury. This game is much bigger for us than Clemson.

LSU could easily have a disappointing season and it wouldn’t be surprising. Why everyone is going crazy over this take is beyond me.

Our offensive line was not good last yr and from that line we had a 1st and 3rd rounder on it.

We expect it will get better, why exactly? I hope and pray it does because the overall roster is stacked but this season could turn into a disaster if they can’t 1. Run block 2. Keep 18 upright.

im the opposite. A close loss to Clemson, we could run the table.

There is a chance that Clemson is the best team we play this year, so I won’t melt if it’s competitive.

two 8-4 and the money will be found.

I don’t think we go 8-4. But if we do a couple times you gotta run him or you lose all NIL momentum and that would be a huge setback

That's what all this boils down to, yet the majority of the fan base doesn't want to see it.

BK makes the playoffs this year, that will change.

I think there is a ‘Josh Pate says….’ Subject on here every day.

I don’t even know who the dude is

Too expensive, and they are just now finally investing properly in the program.

I know people don't want to hear it 5 days out from game one for the 2025 season, but if LSU can land a big time transfer QB, the 2026 team is top to bottom better than 2025.

Well regardless if BK goes 8-4 again with this team and misses the playoffs then he might as well start packing his bags because he’s probably not going to be here very much longer. He will lose the entire fan base if 8-4 happens this year.

If the questions about the OL come to pass then yes we will be an 8-4 Team. If it comes together quickly then we are looking at being a 10-2 team.
