LSU Wire Roundtable: Bye week predictions for the rest of the season

LSU is taking a breather this week, so we’re bringing you a forward-facing roundtable for the bye week instead.

LSU has the week off as it prepares for perhaps the most important game of the entire 2023 slate as it will hit the road to take on Alabama for a Week 10 matchup that could decide the SEC West once again.

While we don’t have a game to predict this week, this edition of the roundtable will instead focus on what’s to come for LSU. With two losses through eight weeks, the College Football Playoff likely isn’t in the picture, but the New Year’s Six and a return trip to Atlanta absolutely could be.

With that in mind, here’s how our staff sees the rest of the season playing out for LSU now that we’ve reached the bye week.
