My guess is 9-3 and hoping we don't end up 8-4.

Need to take the long view. This team’s roster has multiple serious weaknesses. QB is just one example.

That's what I thought but I was trying to be reasonable.

So.....what are your expectations for next year. Sounds like maybe you are rationalizing for something like an 8-4 season upcoming?

8-4 seems to be in line with reasonable expectations for the 2026 season due to all of the question marks on both sides of the ball.

Check back in after the transfer portal closes. This isn’t 2016 baw. We can flip the script in one offseason.


One day you internet dweebs will realize that it takes a whole lot more than the names on a roster/staff to make a team GREAT

this ain’t Xbox. It takes time for teams to come together

Let's see how the portal goes before we start excusing 8-4 arbitrarily.

Hey I’ll be tickled pink to just not see:

1. A delay of game on 1st play
2. A timeout on the 3rd play
3. 3 wide receiver screens for minus three yards.
4. More three and outs than points.

8-4. The schedule next year is extremely difficult.

If we lose to Clemson, may god have mercy on LSU fans because we are going to get shite from every CFB in the world.

OP is correct.

In 2026, (1) just [play better and coach better than what occurred in 2025, and (2) win at least 8 games in the regular season.
