The initial 2024 College Football Playoff rankings will be unveiled on Tuesday night. LSU fans should expect to see the Tigers somewhere in there heading into the Alabama game on Saturday.
At 6-2, LSU could land anywhere between 10 and 20. LSU sits at No. 14 in the AP Poll, but we’ve seen the committee differ from the media polls before. You might remember a two-loss LSU team ranking top 10 in 2022’s initial playoff ranking despite sitting a few spots lower in the AP and coaches poll.
We’re a long way from the finish line, but the first set of rankings can shed light on how the committee views certain wins and what they’re valuing this year.
In LSU’s case, the Tigers have an impressive win over Ole Miss, but we don’t know how much LSU will get dinged for the loss to a now 4-5 USC team.
We’ll find out soon enough. Here’s some info on how to watch the CFP rankings show.

TEAM football CFP rankings projection
LSU’s schedule hasn’t been easy to this point. I think the committee will value that. The win over Ole Miss was impressive and the Tigers have just one conference loss.
I think LSU lands at No. 13 on Tuesday night.
