With 3 wins against FCS schools, which other three games will LSU win to clinch a bowl game?

We only need 2. You can count Sam Houston.

They're not a FCS school, that win doesn't count.

we only need to find two more wins. The scary part is those 2 wins come down to two toss up games.

I'm not totally sure we do. It's not that we've lost, it's that he haven't even looked competent in the games we've lost.

I think that can turn around. Well, it's an absolute certainty that it can. The actual question is how likely that is.

You can count 1 FCS school once every 4ish years (not exactly sure).

We only need 2 wins.

Yes, it does.

One FCS win per year is allowed and counts toward the 6 win minimum.

Oh, my God. I just realized that we're discussing that.

No. LSU won't win a SEC game this year.

You can count them every year, provided that team meets certain criteria.

yeah.

We beat Kentucky
We beat Arkansas

That's at least six wins.

That leaves:

Alabama
Ole' Miss
Florida
Texas A&M

We MAY split those - win one being conservative.

That 7-8 total wins.

Add bowl game and this team most probably wins 8 games this season.

It will be chalked up as a "success" given the rebuilding year and the mediocrity will continue.

Florida away and Kentucky at home are our best bets. We HAVE to improve though, starting this week. If we lose this week, its prolly over

I mean can you count Kentucky as a W, then MAYBE UF and Arkansas. Do we pull the upset against Bama, Ole Miss or A&M?

And even if SHSU doesn't, they still fall within the 4 year window. We've never HAD to count any of our FCS wins before.

How'd you hold up on Saturday, FT? You didn't reach for dad's old dognip did you?
