9/19 @Ole Miss
10/10 @Kentucky
10/24 @Auburn
11/21 @Tennessee
11/28 @Arkansas

I'd put Auburn 2nd behind Ole Miss. They have a QB and a legit defense.

I like the Will Stein (corrected) hire at Kentucky, but LSU should win that one by a couple of scores.

That’s not a bad road slate. Road games are never easy, but those are very manageable

I’m glad auburn is an early game
LSU always struggles in Lexington for some reason
Tennessee will be at night so it could get dicey

1) Ole Miss - if the game was later in the season maybe it wouldn't take my top spot
2) Tennessee - they hate Lane still and it will be cold
3) Kentucky - think they are a sleeper
4) Auburn - new coach, kind of an unknown but they should be decent
5) Arkansas - no comment needed

That’s as easy of a road slate that you can realistically get with a 9 game SEC schedule.

We have a lot of big games this season but one that's kind of under the radar is Kentucky.

I want to absolutely embarrass Sloan's offense. The good news? He'll likely do most of the work for us.

I’m not sure there are many games that have made me as angry as Kentucky in 07 and 21.

At Ole Miss is 1 given that it is early on the schedule and the emotion surrounding the game

At Tennessee is 2. Especially where it occurs on the schedule

The last win in Lexington was in 2002, but they have only played them there twice since then. Once was a 3OT loss in 2007 and the other was a 42-21 blowout in 2021.

LSU is 40-18 vs Kentucky overall

24-6 in Tiger Stadium

Only 16-12 in Lexington.

Unfortunately, it will not be Sloan’s offense they’ll be running

I still don't understand the hiring. A good play caller hires a seemingly terrible one. I don't get it.

Ole Miss-battle royale
Tenner-we’ve won there four times ever
Auburn-always a battle no matter the record of either team
Arky-they always get up for us
KY-they are a question mark this year

Don't get all the Tennessee love. They even have a qb? And after being there a few times it's the quietest 100k ever. No intimidation at all.

Auburn
Ole Miss
Kentucky
Tennessee
Arkansas

I think Auburn ends up being the most difficult. The ole miss game could be played on the moon and we’d be up for it so I don’t see that one as being difficult.
