ESPN's Heather Dinich Discusses LSU's Chances Of Making The Playoffs

“I’ll just remind everybody that no two loss team has ever made the College Football Playoff. That certainly doesn’t mean they can’t,” Dinich told Finebaum. “I’ll go back to LSU last year, and we were talking about them until they lost in the SEC championship game. So, I think that when you look at LSU defensively, they have some questions. Can they play better, more consistently down the stretch?

“But to me, they’ve got to worry about Ole Miss. They’ve got to worry about Florida State. I mean, the head-to-head things come into play and the SEC West could be an interesting tiebreaker situation, quite honestly.”

“There are a lot of things that can continue to happen, but LSU’s biggest question mark as far as going all the way up might be what happens to Florida State,” Dinich continued. “That’s because that head to head at the beginning of the season will continue to matter, and it will probably continue to keep [FSU] ahead of LSU as long as Florida State doesn’t lose. If Florida State stumbles somewhere down the stretch, then it could be a question.”
