    If LSU is undefeated through Tennessee and the new project is going well, I see 10-2.

    CBS sports was rating the best rivalries of the past decade. The best championship rivalry was Florida and LSU, on the strength of a split of 4 NC in 10 years between them.

    I get this Bama vs LSU thing, but this Florida game needs to turn, regardless of home field. If LSU is still undefeated after this game, even I would buy stock in 11-1.

    So i guess the question would be, who would that 1 loss be to? Auburn? Ole Miss? :D

    Come on, even I want Tiger nation to respect me in the morning. Besides, 11 wins are a lot of scalps on your way to a nice BCS bowl . :miles:

    Very true.

    It is going to be ruff for a few teams in the SEC.

    I think UF will have a hard time with SC this year too..

    I meant that as we didnt recruit as well as UF last year. I think we were on par with Bama. We are on par with both over the last 3 years or so, so recruiting isnt an excuse.

    I assume you're saying USCe is gonna be a player in the east this year? FWIW, for the last 3 seasons, someone has stated this very same thing. For the last 3 seasons, I have disputed it. So far, I'm undefeated! 3-0!
    -
    I don't know if it's still Spurrier love or what, but USCe isn't, has never been, and will probably never be a football power. They will not win the east. IMO, it's between UGA, and yes, UF. USCe will probably come out guns blazing again, then fizzle out...like every other season. I still don't understand why they were allowed in the SEC.

    Agreed.

    North Carolina - in the Georgia Dome, LSU should be better
    Auburn - we should be better, but they are tough at home.
    Arkansas - a potential dark horse and it's at their place

    I don't see any of these as "likely wins".

    I think we'll win, but not as confident to say "likely".

    I couldn't agree more!

    Of course we want to see better QB and OL play that will open the running game. But I want to see some ole fasion Tiger D pounding people and getting the ball back.

    I want to see our DB's catch some balls and not have hands of stone this year.
