It's only May, but the expectation for LSU Football this upcoming season continues to rise.

Most recently, the Tigers were named by ESPN as one of ten teams that could potentially earn first-round byes in the 12-team College Football Playoff.
quote:
9. LSU: Expectations are soaring for the Tigers, especially with the return of quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, but are they ready to return to the top of the SEC? LSU doesn't play Texas or Georgia during the regular season, so we might not know unless they make it to the conference championship game.
ESPN's Ten potential first-round bye teams:
1. Texas
2. Penn State
3. Clemson
4. Iowa State
5. Georgia
6. Ohio State
7. Miami
8. BYU
9. LSU
10. Boise State

Man, I hate to see this. Would rather us not chasing unrealistic expectations all year.

No being on the edge of 10 is a good spot. Its still on the outside.

ESPN is saying we have the 9th best odds to get a bye. So top 10 is unrealistic for LSU?

They probably got a few cheats left in them before the final breath which will be a loss to Auburn somehow. That's when the Houndstooth hat's come flying off. LOL!

Bye would be nice and would imply a great record but hosting a game would also be really cool.
