We obviously need to handle business against the inferior opponents on the schedule but my must wins for next year are:

Texas
Florida
Auburn
A&M

IMO we absolutely must beat the 2 Texas teams to keep momentum in recruiting Texas. Florida and Auburn are home rivalry games that will be extremely important to our season and recruiting.

LSU makes the playoffs at 11-1 if the lone loss in BAMA. I would be happy with this.

LSU makes a NY6 at 10-2 if the losses are BAMA and one other good school. I would be contempt with this.

LSU at 9-3 or worse calls for more anxiety because it shows no improvement over the coach that was fired. Ole Miss and Arkansas are still going to be shite. We have three other cupcakes. Vanderbilt isn't terrible, but they are not UGA. We have six automatic wins. To only go 3-3 (or worse) in the mid-high level games in not acceptable.

All of them, except maybe Bama.

We could return 15/22 starters from a 10-3 team.

This might sound weird, but every game aside from Alabama.

If we're good enough to beat Alabama, we won't be losing to anyone else.

And if we lose to Alabama but win every other game, we'll likely be in the playoffs and have another shot.

I feel like I'm talking about what this season could've been, although I do not believe we would've beaten Alabama in a second try.

We must beat the teams that we have more talent than. We should've won yesterday's game by about 30 points.

I say the only acceptable loses in 2018 would've been Alabama and Georgia. We beat Georgia, which was great, but then we lost to UF and Aggies, neither of which had equal or better talent than us.

If we can beat Texas on the road early in the season (they will be very young defensively), this team has a great shot at 11-1 with our home schedule. Need to avoid letdowns on the road at Vandy/MSU/OM.

Florida and A&M are the ones to circle. Can't allow Mullen and Jimbo to continue to beat us.

If Ed and Ensmingwr can get out of the team’s way, we should realistically expect to win every game but Bama.

The last 3 years, yes. From 2012-2015, no.

Aside from that, it's downright depressing how many of you just concede the Alabama game as a non-must win. Must be younger fans who don't remember the 2000s.

Something seem to be missing here.

Couldn't agree with this post any more than I do


O is currently 0-3 vs Mullen and Jumbo.

He has to win both of those games, no question.

The only other team with a shot, outside of Alabama of course, is Texas. The Herman storyline, and the fact that they lose virtually their entire defense and best WR makes that game a must win as well.


With a senior QB and Aranda for another year, and Auburn Florida and AM at home there must really won't be a better opportunity to make that type of run.

Who’s downvoting everyone who is saying we should go 11-1?

Can’t we put ANY expectations on this team?

4/5 OL
Possibly every WR
We get a 5* RB

We may return our entire defense sans Alexander, White and Greedy.

We’re looking pretty good.
