First of all I am assuming we will go to a 24 team playoff and that a 9-3 SEC team will make the playoffs, Lets look at our schedules:

---------------------
2027 (5 Home SEC games / No Alabama Kryptonite)
---------------------

OOC: Houston/Northwestern State/UTSA --- Moderate.

Arkansas
Missouri
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
Vanderbilt
@Florida
@Georgia
@SouthCarolina
@TexasAM

Wewill lose at Georgia and either A&M or Florida and we are 10-2
We should be beating A&M and Florida. But we can lose 1.
We make the playoffs

---------------------
2028 ( 5 road games, so harder)
---------------------
OOC: ULM/SMU/Southern -- Weak

Auburn
Kentucky
Tennessee
TAMU
@Alabama
@Arkansas
@MissState
@OleMiss
@Texas

We will lose at @Alabama (Kryptonite) & @Texas.
@Ole Miss will be manageable. The hate will be there but with lower intensity.... No Chambliss... Golding would have dug a grave for them by then...

Tennessee & TAMU at home might give trouble

9-3 is the floor here. We should squeak into the playoffs and win a game or two.

---------------------
2029 ( 5 Home Games / No Alabama Kryptonite)
---------------------
OOC: SMU/McNeese/Rice - Weak

Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Ole Miss
South Carolina
@Missouri
@Oklahoma
@TAMU
@Vandy

Loss will be Georgia at home.
Tough home game at Florida. Tough road games but no too tough
10-2 or 9-3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2026 is a very tough schedule
Tough road schedule... Tennessee & Kentucky on the road up north in colder conditions, plus the Ole Miss grudge match. Luckily Auburn is down.

Brutal home schedule....Alabama & Texas at home

-----------------------------------
Honest take:

Lane has the pieces in place (Offense/Defense/NIL/Recruiting/Roster Management)....he just needs to assemble it all together.

Alabama is a known Kryptonite for us. Reverse the jerseys & coaches and Alabama wins .... so the loss is always guaranteed.

Good news is, we play Alabama alternate years.

I would want to play them in years where we have 6 road games, because we do not want to play them in a year where we have 5 road games and a favorable schedule.

People dont want to hear this fact based optimism right now… we want to call Lane BK 2.0 and sharpen our pitchfork didn’t you know?

But you are correct.
LSU is trending up. We have statistically a great team that has caught no breaks and has some bad decisions cost us. Next 2 years will be better and more fun.

Fans do not realize how bad off our offensive talent was when Kiffin got here and the money it was going to take to get it decent, much less elite. We couldn’t afford to rebuild an elite offensive room so he had to pick and choose where he spent the money in the portal, on what was realistically available.
Leavitt was not his first choice but he was the best choice with what was there. You know it wasn’t his first choice because he went after the Washington QB while Leavitt was on campus.
Kiffin had to rebuild the entire oline and WR room. Of all the players that left, including starters, absolutely ZERO of them are killing it anywhere. For those saying Kelly would have the same record as Kiffin this year, I ask “with what oline, QB or RB?”???? Berry and Durham aren’t even 2nd or 3rd string in the current roster.
We needed depth so Kiffin had to spread the money out over an entire offensive room. He picked up elite where he could (LT, QB and kept TE). In hindsight, he should’ve let Berry and Durham walk and used that money on better OG’s but that’s hindsight. He’s now had an entire year with this team and knows exactly what we need moving forward. I guarantee you that Oline will be addressed in this portal. If it’s not, then let the criticism flow.

Offenses fills stadiums. The Lane Kiffin offense will be fun to watch in year 2 & 3 of the Kiffin era....You are absolutely right.

BK was good....in my opinion....but as he got older and had started to slow down...
Kiffin is younger....we will be better.....

Until we have a decent OL we’re not winning shite. And I’m gonna have to see it to believe it. We haven’t had a solid line since Les was here.

Blows me away how 3 coaches now have been unable to bring any decent linemen in but everyone else seems to have no problem.
