The Final Four: How the FPI predicts the LSU Tigers to finish the season

Are we heading for another .500 season in Baton Rouge?

Starting next Saturday the LSU Tigers begin their four-game stretch to end the 2021 college football season. They have two ranked foes left with Alabama and Texas A&M. Those games sandwich a date with Arkansas and UL-Monroe. Their final road game of the season will come next week when they head to Tuscaloosa and Bryant-Denny Stadium.

There isn’t a lot of reason for optimism, but they still have a bowl berth on the line. They missed last season due to a self-imposed bowl ban and the team would like to send their seniors out with a postseason game. How do they get there?

At minimum LSU needs to win two games, going 3-1 will secure a better bowl destination. Knocking off No. 3 Alabama seems like a tall task but Arkansas, ULM, and Texas A&M are winnable games. The question remains on if you trust this team to pull it off.
