re: Here me out ... LSU finishes 7-3...

In your hypothetical, yes because some of those 7 wins would be against strong teams/rough road games. Although our non-conference was not very good so we’d probably have one of the play in games.

In reality, I’d be flabbergasted if this team won 7 of their remaining sec games. Even going 5-5 would require us to win every game we’re favored in and steal one against a team that’s better than us. That’s a tough ask.
