Past history or no past history, I Googled preseason top 25 and the first 3 major sources have LSU ranked #6, #4, and #7. That's a very probable loss.
Can Football win 10+ games this year?

I'm sorry but we can't worry about what sort of season we might have when we are so obviously losing our recruiting in May. Our season is already over. How can we even expect to field a team in September?
We are just a lot better program now than we were back in the early 2000s. Our record against anyone from that timeframe of Sly Croom and end of Jackie is just irrelevant to today’s game. We were noncompetitive back then against virtually everyone. LSU has more talent than we do and if we both play really well, they will win the game. That being said, the game being at home and early in the season, I think we have a decent shot at an upset. LSU usually plays much better later in the year. This year, we may be better later in the year with our scheme change though. Hard to tell.

They were ranked highly every time we have beaten them in the past decade. So is A&M most of the time. Preseason rankings are going to be geared towards the blue bloods every single year. I’m sure they will be a very good team, but they are going to have to improve a lot to be some auto loss. They lost 3 games in the regular season last year. They don’t demand Alabama peak Saban respect.
They have a top 5 (ish) coach and significantly more talent going against a first time HC that is completely overhauling offensive schemes. We'll probably be much better on offense in the second half of the year, but there'll be some growing pains during the first few games (especially when the other team has much more talent).
They weren't ranked at the end of 2014 or 2020. Ranked #18 in 2017. Maybe they're not as good as their ranking (they probably are). But right now all we have to go on is they won the SEC West after a slow start last year, they have a lot of players back, and they're pre-season top 10. We may win. But I doubt even you would bet on us straight up.
No doubt LSU is good, the Florida State game is huge for them and honestly pretty good for us. Them starting the season out with a big game like that.
Our offense sucked last year and we still should have beaten them without turnovers. They barely beat Auburn, us, and a terrible Florida team. They lost to A&M. They had 4 losses on the year. The offensive overhaul we are having would matter a lot more if we were actually a good offensive football team last year, but we were not. We have been winning with defense anyway, and return a ton of really good players off a good defense.
I will not be betting on us to win straight up, but it would not be surprising at all if we beat them. They played a lot of bad teams close last year and lost to a terrible team at the end of the year.
You a CPA? Any chance you're looking to hire a fresh State accounting grad?
Near auto home losses. I bet if we win 'em you'll say "Well, it WAS with Leach's croots"
