The West Big 3 - Alabama, Texas A&M, and LSU. I predict we go undefeated against the East. Bama and TAMU have a much easier schedule. LSU has more of a challenge. Too bad we have to play each other.

We should beat Florida, but I just don't know how we beat UGA. They very well could be the best team in the SEC this year. Their offense is loaded and just need to improve their D some and they'll be a championship competitor.

Agree - Georgia is a huge challenge. Their offense is loaded. But, our offense is all back.

Is you point to say this could end up being that year when the big 12 had a 3 way 1 loss tie and it came down to rankings.

Note: if this happened we would prob be screwed pollsters always put Bama over us if we are ties.

I think we play role of spoilers this year Bama may be going for a 3 peat aTm may be playing for a title we may go in with a loss or two and beat one of them.

I think because of our East schedule, we may have to win both Bama and TAMU.

A&Ms schedule is a joke. They play two ranked teams all year

They beat bama and they will be number 1 when they come to Baton Rouge

It's still a big 2 until A&M can sustain for several years

The BCS formula is still around for another year. A 1-loss LSU team would be significantly higher in the BCS than a 1-loss Bama or A&M, despite the polls. (Though I think we'd be ranked higher as well.)

Guy's I hope I am wrong but with our lose on defense & schedule, I still say 8&4. With the gumps pussy schedule I say 10 & 2.

BCS title or bust. Senior experienced QB, hopefully better talent utilization on O, Miles getting the "hint" after the BAMA game last year and the bowl game.

8 - 4

We lose ?

Dawgs
Gators
aTm
Bama

You got this team loosing all 4 big SEC games
Les has only lost 6 home games in 8 seasons

But we lose 2 home games this year?

12-0
Maybe 11-1

Do we not hear this same bs about Georgia every year? They'll lose 1 or 2 they're not supposed to and then fall apart like usual.

Cajun, if your prediction turns out correct, that would mean counting Jan 9 2012 this team would have lost 8 games in 2 years. With this level of recruiting and talent I would say a huge red flag would have to go up that something in the program is amiss and needs addressing. You go from being touted as one of the potentially greatest BCS title teams ever to losing your 8th game in 24 months when you are supposedly one of the upper echelon SEC teams along with BAMA. HUGE RED FLAGS!!! Hope you are off on that prediction.

People forget, UGA lost just as much talent on D as LSU did. We can beat them

What you said about Georgia is the same way I feel about us except for one difference.

We need to put it together on offense for the whole season, and Georgia needs to put it together for a whole season including the first three weeks this time.

Both very talented offenses, Georgia has been able to achieve on that side of the ball.
Both had a lot of losses on defense, but when it come to having the most talent, they're both right up there with UF, Bama, and a&m. Also, according to the rant, both coaches have lost control of "fill in the blank"

Georgia lost some pretty good defensive players. I'm not nearly as worried about them as other teams. We will beat Georgia.
