ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach updated their College Football Playoff and Bowl Projections after Week 5, and no longer have LSU making the 12-team playoff.

Instead, Bonagura has the Tigers playing Florida State in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl, and Schlabach has LSU playing Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

7:30 p.m. ABC

Get used to it. CBK's ceiling. For the next 2 or 3 more years of 9-3,8-4 football. Opt out's. Transfers, Signees bolting to highest bidder. Who would want to play for this clown.

honestly probably going to be right. We're going to lose to Bama and Oklahoma, Kelly will give another away. SEC too top heavy. We'll finish bottom of the middle-of-the-pack teams

“no longer have LSU making the 12-team playoff.” Gator and Outback Bowl does not exactly scream on the bubble either.
