This can’t be right. I was told Coach O is building a championship team. Plus our OL coach has a Super Bowl ring.

Well look at it this way, we hired a 3 win a year coach so 6 wins is double that...bang for your buck there

The Tigers will have a new offensive coordinator in 2018, as Steve Ensminger takes over and LSU has a very good defense led by linebacker Devin White.

LSU 2018 Regular Season Win Total
Over 7.5 (-120)
Under 7.5 (-110)

The problem for the Tigers is that they face one of the most difficult schedules in the nation for the 2018 season.

2018 SEC Win Totals

2018 LSU Tigers Schedule Analysis

Sept. 2 vs. Miami (AT&T Stadium - Arlington, Texas)

The season opener for LSU is not going to be easy, as Miami is turning into a national power under head coach Mark Richt. The early odds on this game have the game a pick and it could be that this game decides whether or not the Tigers will have a chance to win eight games and go over their win total of 7.5.

Sept. 8 vs. Southeastern Louisiana

The Tigers get an easy game for their home opener, as they face the Ragin’ Cajuns. This is a sandwich game for LSU but they have far too much talent to lose this game at home.

Sept. 15 at Auburn

The first true road game of the season for LSU looks like a loss. This will be a revenge game for Auburn, as they were beaten last year 27-23 by LSU. The home team has won the last four in this series.

Sept. 22 vs. Louisiana Tech

This might not be an automatic win for LSU, as Louisiana Tech will want to show they can play with their instate SEC rival. Louisiana Tech nearly beat South Carolina last season, losing 17-16.

Sept. 29 vs. Mississippi

The Rebels have an explosive offense that can give LSU all kinds of trouble. This is a home game for LSU, but definitely not a game that can automatically be put in the win column. LSU has won six of the last eight meetings in this series.

Oct. 6 at Florida

The Tigers have won six of the last eight meetings in this series, but Florida has a new head coach in Dan Mullen and a new outlook. LSU just barely got by the Gators last season, winning 17-16. The advantage for LSU in this contest is that Mullen faced his former Mississippi State team last week.

Oct. 13 vs. Georgia

The Tigers will probably be listed as home underdogs in this contest, as Georgia is considered one of the top teams in the country. This is one of the only big tests for Georgia this season and they will be extremely focused.

Oct. 20 vs. Mississippi State

The Bulldogs have a new head coach in Joe Moorhead so it is hard to know what to expect from them this season. This is really a must-win game for LSU if they are to have a winning season.

Nov. 3 vs. Alabama

The Tigers rarely win against the Crimson Tide, as they have lost the last seven meetings. Both teams will be coming off a bye, so both will be well prepared for this one.

Nov. 10 at Arkansas

The Battle for the Boot has seen LSU win six times, while Arkansas has won five times in the last 11 meetings. The Razorbacks have a new head coach in Chad Morris and they have a new defensive coordinator in former LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis. This is another one of those swing games that will determine LSU’s season.

Nov. 17 vs. Rice

This should be an easy win for LSU, as Rice went 1-11 last season.

Nov. 24 at Texas A&M

The Tigers will face a difficult late season test at A&M who has a new head coach in Jimbo Fisher. The Tigers have won the last seven in this series, but that streak could come to an end this season.

Can you find eight wins on the 2018 LSU schedule? If you give the Tigers the benefit of the doubt, then maybe they can win seven games but it is easy to see LSU finishing at 6-6 or even 5-7 in 2018 and that means they go under their win total of 7.5.

To me, it really comes down to how we play the games. If we loose to another Troy and get smoked again by a Miss St. then 7-8 wins is not good. If we loose some hard fought games in the 4th quarter and play the Bama and Auburn’s close then finish with 7-8 wins I can see that as a pass. It simply comes down to what the product is on the field.

Some were actually questioning whether saban still had it and if it was time to move on after their loss to auburn last year.

If you thought that cult fanbase was unstable before he got there...you're in for a real treat.

Bama was average between the Bear and Saban. In those years between they were far from a power house and 4 SEC schools won as many titles as they did.

Bama is not the "program" some like to say. They just happen to have two of the best coaches ever in NCAA football.

I'm not a big Phil Steele guy, but he has returning starters model that I lean on pretty heavily during the first half of the season.

Basically it says that teams who lose a starting QB & return 12 or less starters never have a better record than the previous year. It's funny how emotion plays into all this. Based on that, this prediction is not off by much. No bueno.

6-8 wins......
Well, you gave yourself a 25% cushion.
Even less if you chalk up the gimme wins.

Very far from a bold prediction.

I will nut up and say we go 8-4 exactly. And we win a bowl game.

9-4.

Any better and I will be very pleased under the current circumstances.

People assumed the same of USC post Carroll and Texas post Brown. USC is still a far cry from where they were and Texas is praying Herman can get them out of the current mess they're in. It's actually pretty rare to have a run of great coaches. Mainly because nobody wants the pressure of following "The Guy".
