The LSU Tigers currently sit in the middle of the SEC West with their 4-3 overall record, 2-2 in conference play. Currently Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are all ahead of them in the divisional pecking order.
The Tigers have an opportunity to win two of three games, but that is a very tall task. Ole Miss is the matchup on Saturday and then they travel to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama. Could they do the unthinkable? Another conversation for another time.
Looking towards the postseason, LSU doesn’t have a shot at a New Years Six appearance without a run over the next five games. Finishing 9-3 could put them in the conversation but it seems more likely they finish 6-6 or 7-5. Where would that put them in bowl season?
It could be back to Houston, Texas, in the Texas Bowl with a Big 12 matchup. Some think that could be LSU-Texas one more time.
