Alabama
LSU
FSU
Clemson
Michigan
Ohio State

Tennessee, Oklahoma and Notre Dame are in the mix as well in my opinion

I don't think anyone out west is good enough

I would trade Oklahoma for LSU on that list. Big 12 seems to be a cake walk and LSU will probably lose 2-3 games this year, maybe 4

Why do you feel this way? Who do you think LSU will lose to and why?

I'm just pessimistic at the offense at the moment. Cameron apparently wants to put Spread concepts into the offense which, I don't think he's comfortable with implementing. Harris has GOT to step up his performance as a player and field general. I will say, if they utilize him like a Spread QB, that could be a major difference. Defense is also a question mark given that it's a new system and will take time to get right. I know there's a lot of high expectations and optimistism around the program, but I'm just not feeling it, and that's ok I think.

I'm projecting losses to Wisky, Ole Miss, and Bama. Florida as a possible loss as well

FSU is so overrated right now, IMO.

Wisky has a solid D and they're playing at what should be a home game at Lambeau. Florida is always tough, every year, especially in The Swamp. Though I am interested to see who'll be the QB.

LSU should not lose to Wisconsin . They have way to much talent across the board. Bama very possible, Ole Miss is also very possible. But other than that I don't see any more. I see two losses max.

So we get their Defensive coordinator, with more talent and 9 returning starters but LSU's defense gets the question mark and not Wisky?

LSU has more returning starters than just about anyone, one of the only decent SEC qbs with any experience, top 5 recruiting class, and the best CFB player in the country. If we lose 4 games like you predict, Les will be fired.

BAMA
HOGS
OLE PISS
FLA

Don't forget whose on the sideline. You guys are setting yourselves up for massive disappointment again.

BAMA and ARK lines will dominate the lines like they have the past few years. Ole Miss plays well here. FLA has a good coach now and we always struggle against them.

Miles has won less than 9 games only twice since being at LSU.

Couple that with 18 returning starters, one of which is a Heisman contender for the 2nd year in a row, and a 3rd year QB. I'll take over 8 wins easily.

There is literally zero reason LSU shouldn't line up with Wisconsin and smack the shite out of them. Any team with championship hopes does just that.

I think Wisky hangs in there early but LSU pulls away in the 2nd half. Just got way more talent.

BTW you are projecting something that Les has never done in his entire time at LSU.

The others are possible, but come on, you can't honestly seeing Wisconsin upset LSU. I respect what Wisconsin has done, and they almost always have a top notch defense, but they don't have the talent nor depth to stand up to a team like LSU. Plus don't they have a new QB breaking in?

The Alabama game last year vs Wisconsin is a prime example of the type of team Wisconsin usually is. Good enough to battle around 3 1/2 quarters, then fatigue hits and the opposing team can roll. I don't think their offense can sustain enough drives to keep their defense fresh and Fournette on the sidelines.

Unless Harris has a terrible game, I don't see Wisconsin putting up much of a fight in the 2nd half.

Everyone is picking OU in the Big 12 but I'd be scared of Oklahoma State. They are getting little to no attention this offseason. They return a lot of guys and they were in the Sugar Bowl last year. Okie State is gonna surprise a lot of people this year. Watch out
