Prediction for 2009
LSU will be FAR better than the media will credit them for and WILL win the SEC West. (Ole Miss will finish 2nd) I predict a split with Florida; the only question is who will win the one in Atlanta to play for the National Championship? I'm going to go the Homer route on that one and say we will GEAUX all the way.
My guess is Texas will be the opponent, though Ohio State could go undefeated if they beat USC in week two, which I beleive they will. Although I would LOVE to face USC for the undisputed 'Team of the Decade' game!
Wouldn't that be great if LSU beat UF twice and then beat USC in their Back Yard!?! The Media would have NO CHOICE but to acknowlege LSU as THE dominate team of the decade!
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
