Several posters came very close to nailing the seasons prediction had they hit the overall record correctly, at least 4 picks were right there. In order to be fair, and since this was a board contest, we'll let the voters of TigerBait decide who wins.
please vote for the prediction that you believe came the closest. I gave LSU the win over Mcneese since we certainly believe they would have won it. with that factored in:
final season record/standings: 10-3/5-3, final AP ranking 22nd, tied for 3rd in the west.
the following players are considered by most to have been the Most productive Player of their Unit. here is a link to LSUsports.net'S 2015 cumulative season statistics for quick reference:
