I know a lot of us will talk ourselves into believing that our chances are

better than that, but these are the teams LSU has lost to starting with the 2011 season:

Wisconsin
Auburn
Alabama
Florida
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Mississippi St
Notre Dame
Georgia
Clemson

With the exception of Arkansas and Mississippi St, those are all elite teams. I think a 10% chance is pretty reasonable for a team of BYU's profile over the last several years.

I have a friend that's an LSU fan..

Sounds about right.

7/25/17 8:18am

I'd put it at 85%.

KingDave

7/25/17 8:19am

Hard to argue against that.

BYUtka

7/25/17 8:20am

Somewhere in the 80-90% area sounds about right.

Martin Van Nostrand

7/25/17 8:21am

That is why they are called "fans"

2FarGone

7/25/17 8:21am

Lol, ugh, they are almost exactly right. Nice speech, though.

So he's saying we have a chance?

dilbert

Our list of SEC wins on the road isn't impressive. Ole Miss and Mississippi

Skeptical Optimist

7/25/17 8:30am

We're playing at LSU?

Technically a neutral site, but deep in LSU territory

No, but we are on the road

Skeptical Optimist

7/25/17 8:34am

My apologies - to me "on the road" has always meant "away game"

pistol12

7/25/17 8:46am

Completely agree, but a lot of BYU fans like to use it as a preloaded excuse for

7/25/17 10:19am

Our list of road and neutral SEC wins isn't any more impressive

byuTX

7/25/17 8:36am

Ha, true

pistol12

7/25/17 8:46am

Might as well be. It's not like Houston isn't too far from Baton Rouge, and it's not deep in LSU territory.

7/25/17 8:55am

How so, outside of more fans in the stadium?

7/25/17 10:20am

Yes

Backcountry

7/25/17 9:53am

It's not like there's a big sample size

7/25/17 8:46am

We played well enough to win all those games! Mizzou really was a choke.

fulano

7/25/17 10:53am

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Exactly! BYU needs to keep the underdog mentality, especially for the big games

Let's Go Bucs

7/25/17 9:07am

Hilary had a 98% chance of winning, and that wasn't just from her fans...

SoutheastIdaCoug

7/25/17 8:56am

Maybe we can get the Russians to help us out.

7/25/17 9:02am

Well... if LSU doesn't show up we'll win, just like the election

Dissenter

7/25/17 9:51am

In reality, that is probably a fair assessment.

they have a different kind of player, overall

I agree with 90%, they should be dang good.

7/25/17 9:28am

This is great news! BYU needs to ALWAYS be the underdog to perform their best!

After losing Key and Herron & w/ a mediocre QB in a brand new offense, I think

7/25/17 9:47am

Last I read it is looking like Key will play.

7/25/17 10:23am

I think that is pretty unlikely, but you never know -- I know there's been buzz

7/25/17 10:32am

Any fault lines to exploit like BYU did with Oklahoma?

Florwood

7/25/17 9:52am

You mean like injure their QB?

WDaddy

7/25/17 10:08am

They also had a TE playing center.

foofcoug

7/25/17 10:16am

That fact can't be over-emphasized. Their whole line was in disarray because of

dilbert

7/25/17 10:37am

Actually, when you look beyond the team speed and athleticism difference, there

7/25/17 10:17am

We had our own fault line. Unga did not play.

I'd say 50-50; we either win or lose. No ties anymore.

Scooter

7/25/17 10:17am

This isn't how probability works

Dissenter

7/25/17 12:02pm

hmmmmmm. I'd say you have a 50% chance of being right about that...

Scooter

7/25/17 12:10pm

Yeah, that sounds right.

7/25/17 10:45am

I know a lot of us will talk ourselves into believing that our chances are

russkiejedi

7/25/17 11:16am

Yah! We clearly disagree on what an "elite" team is, especially since...

LEDSFW

7/25/17 11:38am

Confused. What do BYU vs. Utah and LSU vs. Alabama have to do with BYU vs. LSU?

russkiejedi

7/25/17 2:05pm

I kind of agree with a lot of what you're saying, but LSU has & will...

7/25/17 2:23pm

Yeah, you're probably right, BUT - their coach got fired mid-season last year...

7/25/17 12:02pm

I'm warning you, don't get your hopes up. Thinking we have better than a long

russkiejedi

7/25/17 12:11pm

Haha, like I said, you're probably right, BUT...

7/25/17 12:22pm

You're still doing it... it's LSU. Yes, they may not be the LSU that played for

russkiejedi

7/25/17 12:50pm

Sorry, I know I'm still doing it, and I know that you're probably right, BUT...

7/25/17 1:12pm

Yeah, maybe the chances are more like 15% instead of 10%.

Kay Malone says "BYU is going to learn what football means in the SEC"

coot20

7/25/17 11:26am

I thought we learned that last year against Mississippi St.

Coogar2

7/25/17 11:52am

Mississippi State is terrible though...

Dissenter

7/25/17 12:05pm

Well, why haven't they learned what football means in their own conference then?

7/25/17 12:24pm

If Mississippi St is terrible then why did LSU only beat them 23-20 at home?

dodgersjazzcougs

7/25/17 12:37pm

...+ LSU LOST to Mississippi St. in the game at Death Valley before that!

7/25/17 12:47pm

They were terrible.

Cougstreak

7/25/17 3:10pm

I do recall and their QB is going to be one of the best we face all year

dodgersjazzcougs

7/27/17 11:17am

He is no Dak and was average. This is the same team to lose to S Alabama and

Cougstreak

7/27/17 3:24pm

We were not much better than them last year and would have the same

dodgersjazzcougs

7/28/17 3:59pm

I meant we would not have had the same record we had if we played in the SEC

Cougstreak

7/28/17 5:09pm

I don't get Kay Malone's comment

bluegato

7/25/17 2:55pm

they're prob LSU fans... no big deal

Unibro

7/25/17 3:56pm

No biggie. Definitely not anti-BYU simply cheering for LSU.

Cougstreak

7/26/17 4:01pm

Everyone is constantly saying that preseason rankings mean nothing and yet so

here's to hoping

7/25/17 11:58am

I'd wait to see what Vegas says

7/25/17 12:02pm

LSU Fan

dodgersjazzcougs

7/25/17 12:17pm

I would agree.

Cougstreak

7/28/17 5:13pm

I think we have better chances than that but it's difficult to say

7/25/17 2:02pm

That's exactly what my LSU buddy expects.
