2009 Regular season record prediction poll - LSU Fighting Tigers of Baton Rouge

I can't bring myself to predict a loss to Ole Miss, but the loss to UF is pretty much a lock. I can't see 'Bama beating LSU with worse QB issues than LSU has and LSU having the offensive edge in RB and O-Line. I think that one loss is entirely possible, but so is two. I can't find a third team on there to lose to.

Maybe Arkansas surprises, but I can't say this early. Alabama didn't impress me last year. Now that they have no QB, I can't give them more credit. UGA is in the same situation and AU is a good year or more from contending for the West.

All the right games are at home and all the right games are on the road this year. It will hinge on Chavis' defense which I have no reason to believe will be less than top ten.
