Prediction: 9-3
Losses: Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss
LSU will lose the two road games that everyone expects them to lose — Alabama and Georgia. LSU will be favored in the rest of their games. They will win toss-up games against Texas A&M and Florida at home but will slip up and lose another game on the road at Ole Miss. This will leave the Tigers third in the SEC West.

Prediction: 9-3
Losses: Georgia, Texas A&M, Alabama
Georgia’s high-powered offense will prove to be too much for the Tigers. LSU will come out flat against the Aggies, and the prospect of shutting down Johnny Football twice in two years will be difficult. Alabama is the best team in the nation, and the defense will shut down LSU for the win in Tuscaloosa.

Prediction: 9-3
Losses: Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss
The talent gap between LSU and Alabama will be too much for the Tigers to overcome. The Tigers have gotten crushed in two of the last three regular season contests against Georgia, so don’t expect this time to be any different. Every year, Ole Miss gives LSU problems each season, and now with the influx of talent, they will beat LSU in Oxford.

Prediction: 10-2
Losses: Georgia, Alabama
The young defensive line will step up big for the Tigers after the loss to Georgia, but can only keep it close in Tuscaloosa as AJ McCarron and TJ Yeldon make Tiger fans relive the nightmare of the game in Baton Rouge last season. Spurned by the loss to their arch rival, the Tigers will make a statement against Texas A&M at home.
