instead of asking mike s., i thought i would ask someone who actually knows about lsu

Based upon last year's records, our home strength of schedule is:
Team Wins Loses PCT
Oregon St. 8 5 0.615
Ark State 5 7 0.417
Miss State 2 10 0.167
Troy State 6 6 0.500
Vanderbilt 2 10 0.167
Alabama 4 9 0.308
Ole Miss 10 3 0.769
total 37 50 0.425

...and our away strength of schedule is:
Team Wins Loses PCT
Auburn 8 5 0.615
Georgia 11 3 0.786
Florida 8 5 0.615
Arkansas 9 4 0.692
total 36 17 0.679

As one can see, our home schedule blows this year (but past preformaces can not accurately predicte the future) where as our away schedule is very difficult. Its more likely that LSU will lose two away games and lose no home games.

 

We beat Bama at home in 2000, so we don't always lose at home to them--and in the Saban era, we're going to start whipping Bama on a regular basis, home and away.

Everyone points to OSU as a dangerous situation because of our QB and because it's the first game. But it's also OSU's first game--and we're the better team.

I think we go undefeated at home.

 

LSU will be favored - heavily - in all home games this year. So predicting which ONE we might lose is total barbara streisand.
