That's a joke. They have 2 tough opponents in Ohio State & Clemson.

USC/Stanford/UNC are not good, they get BYU at home.

Your point is well taken. I'm simply pointing out that people need to quit cherry picking meaningless stats to make Kelly look better than he is.

LSU isn't even ranked, which should tell us that no one is that impressed with Kelly.

Miles also had access to far better talent. Kelly will have that talent here. Those losses when he was the underdog were to SEC teams with more talented teams.


That's facts that tards don't understand. Kelly is far better coach in terms of X & O's & organizational skills than Miles yet the LSU football dynamic allowed even a lesser coach like Miles to be extremely successful record wise. It allowed a bumbling idiot like Orgeron to win a National Title.

They have 9 guaranteed wins on the schedule, not accounting for the possibility of Freeman being a terrible head coach.

LSU was ranked going into the past two seasons under Orgeron & ended those seasons unranked. Your statement is idiotic & meaningless.

LSU isn’t ranked because they went 11-12 over the last two years and nobody knows what to really expect.

Nothing moronic about Notre Dame being favored in 9 out of 12 games (min.) on their schedule.

they play byu on the road. Clemson is the only big game they have at home. It's a hard schedule. I hate to break it to you but you dont have to play in the sec west to have a good SOS. For Cal, BC, and Stanford to be your 'must wins' it isn't even arguable if you know cfb imo.

if we start out the season well do you not realize we'll also likely be favored in 8 or 9 of our games? being a favorite doesn't mean the schedule is easy lol.

I'll try to get back on topic, how many games do you think LSU will be favored in this season?

I'd say around 6-8. (The swing is beginning of October) If we beat Aub & Tenn, we might be a favorite going into Florida. If we win 2 out of those 3, we'll probably be favored against Ole Miss. I expect OM to be undefeated when they come to town though

LSU was 1-1 against those guys last year, and should have been 2-0. "virtually no chance" was an ignorant choice of words.

Have you seen ND's cupcake schedule this year?


Notre Dame has the 13th toughest schedule in the nation, of the 12 teams ahead of them 9 are from the SEC.

GA Tech, Rutgers, Indiana are the only non SEC teams with a tougher schedule than the Irish

heavily inflated by 2 away games at Ohio State & USC and the home game vs Clemson.

I'll admit I didn't realize BYU was at a neutral site (in Vegas). I still think ND will be a favorite & should win. That leaves them 8 other games that should be easy wins.

Don't try to convince me that Stanford, California, or BC are tough opponents.

Brian Kelly had a humiliating loss to Northwestern

Are you talking about that OT shootout when ND wasn't very good? That was nearly a decade ago.

You're really grasping at straws to make your point in this thread.
