Fantastic graphic put together by a guy on reddit, who did one for every FBS team. See LINK

Edit: this is a matrix of the probabilities from FPI. This is not a random guy making predictions. He just put the table together.


How to read this:
-example 1: we have a 27.6% chance to have 6 wins after our week 12 game
-example 2: we have a 0.1% chance to be undefeated (8-0) after our week 8 game (i.e., we have a 0.1% chance to be undefeated going into the Bama game)
-example 3: we have an 8.4% chance to have only 1 win after our week 4 game.

So we have a 0.0% chance to run the board... so you’re saying there’s..not a chance?

And a 6% chance we start off 3-0, this is dumb

So by his numbers LSU has a better chance of ending up with 4 wins than they do ending up with 9 wins. That's not good....

This is beyond dumb. The win probability week to week isn’t close.

Even more striking, it’s apparently twice as likely we finish with 4 wins or less than 9 wins or more

It’s a nice effort, but it over-thinks itself and the game.

This paints a clear picture how many really good teams are on the schedule. LSU might be a Top 25 team, but we play 5 teams in or just outside the top 15, plus a couple of others that have a chance to be be Top 20 teams.

The losses might start adding up. I just hope the team holds it together, and builds for next year. 2019 could be a very good year if the whole thing doesn’t burn to the ground this season.

Man a lot of you are in for a rude awakening this season if you think he's that far off.

That UF to Bama stretch is brutal.

It's a cool idea and graphic, but the performance model seems pretty suspect. It implies, for example, that we have about the same chance to beat Auburn as Louisiana Tech has to beat us. Does anyone think that's true? It also implies that we should be a home underdog to Mississippi State. I guarantee that will not be the case (barring massive injuries). Finally, we are less than a field goal underdog against Miami, but this model says our chances of winning that game are only 1 in 3. Something is off with either the inputs or the formula here.

If I'm interpreting this correctly we should go 5-7. Sweet.

And O would still be here regardless. Same old. Tough schedule, injuries, youth, 1st year OC, one heartbeat, we coming, blah. Next Year U.

This guy is a f’n moron! Right off the bat he is way off the mark. 30 something percent chance to beat the U? That’s complete BS!

I mean we likely lose both so what's that worth that we're slightly more likely to win one over the other either way?

Auburn has legit revenge on their minds, are a better team and are at home where they play us tough anyway. Hardest game of the year IMO.
