I think the stupid loss to Fl St last year kind of jump started LSU. I agree that that game is critical for both schools and the winner may well be on their way to a big year. I hate it's the first game as LSU historically has been more prone than most to opening week jitters. I guess Kelly can earn that check. Them winning the west last year was a true stunner. They faired really well in the portal, so who knows.LSU wins the west this year. My way too early prediction. Their first game against Fla st will be a war. Fla st is one of my sleepers. I think they could make a serious run this season. That game will be the best game of the first week.
What about Tulane? They finished ranked higher than LSU at the end of last season, beat USC in the Cotton bowl, and all of their key players are returning this season. Yeah, weak conference, but they proved they can win a bowl game against a heavily favored team. Their win over USC was one of the best games of the year, and definitely one of my favorites.
Went to Tulane my freshman year and LSU Tulane was an actual rivalry. Tulane has a knack for "outperforming". Their coach is no joke. I always pull for them.
