The Tigers have a slight break in the SEC West gauntlet this weekend as it hosts UAB for what will represent Senior Night and the final home game of the 2022 season.
Coach Brian Kelly’s team sits at 8-2 on the year and has already clinched the SEC West title after a win at Arkansas last week. Now, this team has the College Football Playoff on its mind as it will look to win out and become the first two-loss team to make the final four.
For that to happen, LSU will need to beat Texas A&M on the road in the finale and then No. 1 Georgia in the SEC Championship. But first, the Tigers have to get past a 5-5 Blazers team led by an interim coach in Bryant Vincent.
Here’s how our staff sees this one playing out.
