ESPN Senior Writer Heather Dinich recently published an article highlighting the legitimate playoff contenders from the Power 5 conferences.
The SEC had the most candidates in the article with four: Alabama, LSU, Georgia, and Kentucky. Here is what she had to say about the Tigers.

LSU Tigers:
The Tigers also had a bye this week and should be the selection committee's highest-ranked one-loss team on Tuesday, especially since Florida (which beat LSU) lost to Georgia. Now LSU doesn't have to worry about the committee debating that head-to-head result. The question is how high LSU can climb in the first ranking. While the committee does consider how many ranked opponents a team has beaten, it will also reward LSU for five wins against Power 5 opponents with a combined record of 26-13. Will that be impressive enough to be ranked ahead of undefeated Clemson and/or Notre Dame?
Playoff Predictor says: LSU has a 13.2 percent chance to reach the playoff and a 10.4 percent chance to win the division.
