Only 33% of voters are feeling confident about LSU getting into the College Football Playoffs, and honestly, can you blame them? With just five games left in the regular season, the Tigers are once again battling to keep their CFP dreams alive, all while navigating one of the most brutal schedules in the SEC.
Zero Room for Error in Baton Rouge
Currently sitting at a 5,2 overall record and 2,2 in the conference, LSU is staring down a final stretch where even a single misstep could cost them everything. They are still part of the national playoff conversation, sure, but their postseason destiny hinges almost entirely on how they perform against some seriously challenging conference rivals. The good news? They control a lot of their own fate. If they win out, we are talking about a compelling 10-2 resume, a record that would absolutely force the committee’s hand.
The Road Ahead: Auburn and Beyond
However, if they slip up even once, a 9-3 finish would mean the Tigers are left hoping and praying for other teams to mess up. That’s not where any team wants to be in late October, especially not in the SEC. This Saturday, LSU is a 6.5-point favorite against Auburn, a game they absolutely need to win to keep that 10-2 dream alive. Every game from here on out is a playoff game for them. Can they run the table? The fans aren’t so sure, and it is easy to see why.
