I always like our chances at home...it is the road games that give me pause...Clemson, Ole Miss, Alabama, OU will be tough...

i personally would put UF and A&M right next to each, for revenge purposes and they're important.....and then everything else the same.

I like your list, but where would you rank at Vandy and Arky at home?

I'd probably stick them both over OU

OU being the last game of the year I think we’ll have something on the line unless we’re undefeated in the SEC and already clinched a SECCG bid. I imagine OU game will have more build up around it than Vandy or Arkansas. those 2 would be 8/9 on my list for reg season.

As pointed out it’s a fluid situation though. as season goes on some games will mean more depending on what seems to be on the line each week or opponents records headed into each game. as of now in preseason I expect both of them to be .500 teams at best so those aren’t games I’m most looking forward to. I live far enough away whether home or away I’ll be watching on tv except 1/2 home games I make it in for. Florida and USC would be highest on my list of home games I want to make the trip for right now

vUSC - Sellers picked as preseason 1st team SEC over Nuss. Come into the year on the radar this time as a top 15 team


They are having to replace 7 on D with 3 of the DL from last year gone. Their portal class was meh. I look for them to take a step back this year.

Listening to the FL On3 guy on AFR today seems like the injury bug has hit them a bit especially in their WR core. Their top incoming freshman WR is out for a while and 2 other starters aren’t practicing at the moment. Lagway’s calf injury is similar to Burrows from the 23 season. It took Burrow half the season for that thing to heal. It’s going to hamper his scrambling ability for some time. They have 2 layup games with Rhode Island and South Bama to start the season.

they could but either way they’re going to have a decent ranking next to their name headed into our game which draws intrigue. This is their schedule headed into LSU game… they should be 4-1 at worst or maybe even a top 10 team if they stay undefeated

VT - Cocks 8 pt favorites

Don’t overlook Vanderbilt. They beat Alabama last year in Nashville.

2. Week 3 vs Florida
IF we lose to Clemson, you simply can't lose to Sun Belt Billy Boy and the Florida Gators in Tiger Stadium on a Saturday Night!

That would be TWO IN A ROW to SBBB and if that were ever to materialize into Reality, BK would be BURNT TOAST and never recover!

Just going to say this, I’ve never been as absolutely pissed at a team as I was last year in the stadium watching that piece of dogshit that Brian Kelly rolled out.



That was bad, but my anger toward the coach was not nearly as great as it was after the homecoming loss to Troy in 2017.

@Bama - it’s LSU v Alabama. Year in year out one of the most talked about rivalries in CFB due to talent on both sidelines


I’m honestly tired of this game being propped up nationally. Sure it’ll always be a big one for LSU but Bama has dominated us so much as of late it doesn’t deserve the national attention that it once got.

Until we can beat them consistently, I’m not propping it up.

4. Florida - They are still florida, and this is a revenge game
5. Aggie - Always have good recruits and love beating us
6. OU - Need to s

Not arguing that won’t be the case the vast majority of the season. As of now the games I listed are ones I’m most looking forward to. The topic is more that, what games are you most looking forward to?

Right now our biggest game is week 1 against Clemson. Following that one we’ll be 5 TD favorites against LT and probably catching it on ESPN+ so wouldn’t call that a big game as far as interest.

Second on my list is UF which is the third game and they’ll be 2-0 visiting us for a primetime game at home. After that granted pretty much every SEC game will become our next biggest game at that point

Vandy is a huge game. SEC opponent and they gave LSU a serious challenge in Death Valley last year. And they have Diego Pavia returning, and he'll just improve. They were competitive every game last year and deserve more respect than WKU or Southeastern.
