Yes its a huuuge longshot and they're still plenty of quality opponents on our schedule, but if we win out and win an SEC title, what happens? Bama and UGA could still have only a single loss, but this year has a similar feel to 2007 where many top teams keep losing every week. I'd put it at about a .05% chance as of now.

I'm disappointed in how few down votes and smart remarks I received.

Even if we win out, we have two very bad losses. It would be difficult too

The SEC had the benefit of the doubt over the years but the conference is trash right now

Win out, blow out bama by 35 and Georgia in the sec championship by 35....so 0% chance

Crazier things has happened but I just don’t see it. Would need a shite ton of outside help. The game yesterday was absolutely amazing, but beating Bama and UGA is a tall order.

It's technically possible. If we win out, including a win against bama, then we win the west. Then we would be in the SEC champ game. Then we could win the SEC. And the SEC winner should go to the playoffs. But I'm not counting on that happening. This last game was very encouraging. If we don't look like arse the rest of the way, I'll count it as a win. That's where I'm resting it. Hoping for National Championships is way too much to think right now.

Jesus Christ this isn't a top ten team much less a play off team.

It's possible, but it would require a titanic effort on the part of the Tigers.

1) Win out the regular season
2) beat an undefeated Georgia in the SEC Championship game

That probably would get them in, considering there's so few dominating teams in college football this year.

Five Thirty Eight Predictions

538 has LSU at a 79% chance of making the playoffs if we win out. As long as we're having fun with it, figured I'd look into more.


Of note, 538 has been known to miss on some predictions in the past.

If we win out and win the SEC CG then we are not only in the playoffs but probably ranked #1 in the country.

Do I think that will happen? Not at all. But you’re kind of stupid if you think a SEC championship team that has wins over three top 10 opponents and two wins over top 3 opponents doesn’t make the playoffs

I would say no...we are half way through the season and don't really have any dominant wins, but a couple of bad losses. The pressure is off, enjoy the Saturdays that we have left.
