I can understand the Bama doubt, but OU? Have you even watched any of their games recently? That's most certainly a winnable game, regardless of who is coaching us.

Close to zero. Even winning out we would still likely have Bama, Vandy, UGA, OM, and A&M in front of us just in the SEC. Missouri and UT could possibly finish in front of us also.

We're losing to Bama maybe 42-20 instead of the 59-3 score if Kelly was still in charge.

Now Oklahoma is a different kennel of fish. I'm not convinced they're a very good team. They were mostly playing catch-up vs Ole Miss at home and their vaunted defense wasn't rock-ribbed. And they were dominated by Texas. I believe LSU can hang with OU for three quarters, esp. if MVB starts and Sloan isn't calling plays

We probably lose at least 2 more games. At least.

You need to assume that LSU is likely losing out including to WKU.

good lord, we're not a good team. We'll lose to Bama and OU, and maybe to Arky.

If we don’t lose another game, we’ll be one of the hottest teams in the country at the right time being 9-3. Yes, LSU would make the playoff

It’s not impossible, but it’s as close to impossible as one can get.

Fans need to understand there’s probably better odds for LSU to lose out than win out - idk why you guys set yourselves up for imminent disappointment.

Playoffs will take 3-4 SEC teams. There are currently 8 other SEC schools with better odds.

Will be interesting to see how much Sloan was holding the offense back. And what happens with Nuss.

I struggle to see how this team will get worse with Kelly and Sloan gone. A bye week to let the fallout settle will help things too.

Playoffstatus . com says we have a 4% chance of making the playoff at 9-3. That’s a little high imo I’d put it around 1%. You’d need absolute chaos where a 9-3 Bama is on the cusp where we’d get the H2H nod over them.

About as good as me winning the powerball in back to back drawings.

And I don't buy tickets.
There is more chance to win b2b drawings then if you don't play at all which is a real zero. Coincidentally I picked up a 1K check Friday with a 1 dollar fun purchase.

This team winning out and making the playoffs has to be near zero. That said, if they were to beat a top 5 Bama and miraculously win out then they would get special attention because it will be with a new staff. There was a lot of chatter last year about a 9-3 Ole Miss and South Carolina getting left out so there's that. Also, I think it was said in the offseason there would be more focus this year on wins then losses.

Playoffs are for championship contenders. We are not that.

There's no point in us being in the playoffs, no matter what happens next.
