I see 8-4. 9-3 more likely than 7-5, IMO.

There is one sure loss and a bunch of near toss ups. Coach O can get the fans and team back with a win at Florida. If they lose that one, all bets are off.

Before the game I thought we would beat them and they would still finish 10-2. After watching them Saturday I'm more inclined to think that's an 8-4 team.

The strange thing is, as bad as they looked, I think Ole Miss, A&M, and Arkansas are still worse than them, maybe even significantly worse.

Talent wise they are better than everyone left except Alabama, Auburn and Florida, and the latter two of those are pushes. The problem is if they drop the Florida game and the team has already given up before Auburn visits. If they are 0-2 in the SEC going into the Auburn game, it could be the second straight year that becomes a loser leaves town game.

Looks like 5 wins, 1 loss and 3 tossups the rest of the way for them. So, I'm with you 8-4/9-3. I'll go with 9-3.

The problem at LSU is Ed O. They have talent BUT zero discipline. ESPN info ..

After firing Miles, who won 77 percent of his games and guided the Tigers to two SEC titles and the 2007 national championship, LSU hired his defensive line coach, Orgeron, who won 29 percent of his games as Ole Miss head coach in three seasons from 2005 to 2007.

With the highest-paid coordinator duo in FBS (defensive coordinator Dave Aranda makes $1.8 million and offensive coordinator Matt Canada is paid $1.5 million annually) and Heisman Trophy contender Derrius Guice coming back, the Tigers were finally supposed to challenge Alabama in the SEC West.

In Orgeron's first big road test, however, the No. 12 Tigers lost at Mississippi State 37-7 on Saturday night, their worst defeat in the 111-game series. Maybe Miles didn't beat Alabama enough, but his teams never lost to the Bulldogs by 30 points. In fact, LSU had won 23 of the 25 previous meetings, and Miles' only loss was a 34-29 defeat in 2014, when current Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott accounted for three touchdowns.

I'm afraid LSU is a really bad football team. Good news is we crushed them, which is what should happen when a good team plays a bad team.

They are poorly coached, undisciplined, inexperienced, and (now) demoralized.

I see them at 6-6, 7-5 tops.

What's all this Auburn love about? They've done NOTHING to impress me. The Mercer game was a 7 point game with 5 minutes left.

Maybe "love" is a little much, but Auburn does not look like a good football team yet.

They are a one dimensional football team. Anybody that stops the run without having to load the box will beat them, as Etling can't move the ball. I think the only teams that can do that though are Bama, auburn, and Florida. Florida has its own offensive problems though. So that's probably two more guaranteed losses, with Florida as a toss up. Tennessee is probably a toss-up.

But then Om, Arkansas, Syracuse, Troy, and A&M will likely not be ablt to stop them.

So 7-5 to 9-3. 8-4 seems more likely . Just bad enough for people to discount the win after the season.
