00:13for next year 2026 how about year number four in 2025 for lsu under brian kelly win total for the

00:21tigers eight and a half the over has the juice to reach the college football playoff it is a plus

00:27140 price drs only eight teams around the country have a minus money number to get to the college

00:35football playoff so if teams with a plus money price even that plus 140 on lsu is the shortest

00:42to be one of those at-large teams out of the sec their price to win that conference seven to one

00:48their national championship price in the top 10 at 17 to one lsu defensively last year under blake

00:56baker got better but still allowed the third most points on average per game within the 16 team sec

01:03there is no doubt offensively though they are going to be stacked a very talented wide receiver class in

01:10the transfer portal barry and brown from kentucky nick anderson big play wide receiver from oklahoma

01:17and most importantly drs garrett nussmeyer is back leading lsu at the quarterback spot he has the second

01:24best place to win a heisman trophy only behind arch banning entering 2025 sky high expectations

01:31in bahan rouge and frankly they need to be in year number four under brian kelly no expectations from

01:37brian kelly took over the helm with national championships with an s not just one or getting

01:42there or trying to which obviously lsu still trying to do but the one thing that you always love in college

01:48football is if you got a veteran at quarterback coming back for you in the fall it makes things

01:54so much easier hey we have three guys in the race here no you have your one quarterback that you know

01:59is going to be your starter and they will be tested right out of the break against clemson and clay

02:03club nick who's looking to be an nfl quarterback as well we talked about it joking around previously

02:08before that that big game against florida on september september 13th that's saturday night in baton

02:12rouges but it still is the sec but understand this like you know we still get into you know

02:18playoffs and how it factors in i just love the fact that you look at the lsu schedule and in the past

02:23ben used to be like oh tough one at clemson tough one at florida we got to go on the road to old miss

02:28we play texas a&m at home at alabama boy we have to run the table for a chance to make it into the

02:33playoff isn't it nice for lsu to be like you know what we're a good football team let's just play good

02:37football and see where the chips land because if we lose the florida at home and or even alabama on the

02:42row that's two losses hey we're still going to probably make the college football playoff i love

02:46that about this but the expectations or for brian kelly and his team not to lose two football games

02:52they probably think they can win every single football game on their schedule and rightfully

02:55so you just get that gauge because we don't have three preseason games and say hey boy i like what i

03:01see out of this team so far you hit the ground running at clemson game number one you win that game

03:06the expectations even skyrocket from there ndrs lsu a three and a half point underdog for that season

03:14opener all credit to bk the bayou bangles have not been shy of opening up their season in a dramatic

03:20non-conference game first two years in baton rouge against florida state last year against usc and las

03:26vegas the issue they have dropped all three of those season openers under brian kelly and ra road

03:32underdog in the battle of the real death valley against a clemson team that is absolutely stacked

03:38entering this year again the clemson tigers three and a half point favorite at home saturday night

03:44august 30th to start off this season that week one slate valley well the real well we'll see we'll

03:51have to talk to joe did they get angry between that i wonder i wonder i would say that when you think

03:57death valley first and foremost the broader population probably goes to tiger stadium that

04:03in baton rouge but when you touch the rock and you run down the hill at clemson

04:08many would consider it death valley as well
