Added new experienced players at every position. Also we have 4 capable QB’s And Kayshon is healthy. 10 wins is the floor
We’ve got op , and this clown both making it hard to keep things in perspective.
To op,
We have a good roster and last year doesn’t mean much because we’ve filled it out pretty much. 8-4 wouldn’t be bad but last year has nothing to do with that.
To the guy I replied to . Wtf is your deal? Are you trying to set this place up for a disappointment?

Ok. Is that the case now?

It has nothing at all to do with now.
New staff, New players, New culture, New identity and especially a new head coach that's been successful at every head coaching job that he's had. Last year doesn't mean shite to this year. Not at all.

The season ended with our WR/QB throwing an absolute dime for a 70 yard TD, so this year looks bright.

Last year Baylor went from a 2 win season to one of the great stories in CFB in a single season, and didn’t have near the talent of this LSU team. A 10 win season may not be likely for the Tigers but it’s far from being totally unreasonable.

Well considering it was just months ago we had barely enough scholarship players to field a team and a 5th string WR playing QB, it absolutely has something to do with now. Not that the things aren’t better but damn, you don’t just go from zero to hero.
Years ago, it would take probably 3 seasons to get the program back to solid ground; have full roster, with strong upperclassmen complementing a good recruiting class. The first year or so would be very young, inexperienced and not ready to play SEC ball yet.
The transfer portal has changed all that. We've added seasoned players at almost every position, guys who have seen the field. Crazy to think of, but we've added a QB with more starts than the guy who left, and he's not even really expected to be our starter. We've restocked the depth with guys from other SEC schools, other P5 schools, bowl teams.
On top of that, we have a couple injured players returning, with good shots to be stars. Boutte may be the best WR in the SEC. Brennan, who also may not start at QB, could probably average 300+ yds a game in a friendly system (since that's what he did before).
We've flipped the entire program, and I don't think people are taking into account just how drastic the change is. Orgeron kept most of Miles' staff, and tweaked the offense a few years before getting it right (once, several years into his tenure). He kept Aranda running the defense.
This year, we return 1 guy, who was in his 1st year here last year. Different S&C guy, so different workouts. Everything is different. No idea how the offense will even try to look, little clue on the defense either.
I do think it's going to take time and we'll have some bumps, but it's not like it was when USC got hit a decade or so ago. This team will be expected to win 10+ games in 2023, barring disaster this year.

In aggregate, yes. And that has zero bearing on an individual teams results.
How accurate have they been for LSU for the last 4 years.

Everything, if you follow the Phil Steele method.
Don't forget Tennessee has a bye-week advantage over LSU. That's worth 3-4 points, maybe even a TD for the Vols.
Then there's the YAC factor: disregard Max Johnson's gaudy passing stats last year. Most of it was generated on yards after the catch.
2022 LSU looks like a work in progress. 7-5 may be attainable.
