The percentage change of LSU winning the remaining four games in 14%.

Alabama (-3.0) vs. LSU = 42.5%
LSU (-5.5) vs. Florida = 65.2%
Vanderbilt vs. LSU (-8.0) = 73.9%
Oklahoma vs. LSU (-7) = 70.53%

It appears that LSU has a 14% chance of winning out to make the playoffs.

My gut is telling me 25% chance.
Could definitely happen, but this team hasn’t looked amazing this year across the board minus maybe the ARK game. Gonna be tough.

Agree with you.

Plus the best advice I have received on things happening tells me it’s 50/50. It either happens or it doesn’t, 50/50.

If they take it 1 game at a time, 100 percent.

We have less than 47% chance of winning the Alabama game.

That's a 3.7% win out probability.

It’s not as simple as multiplying each games win probability for the four remaining games. A lot of intangibles at play (momentum, injuries, motivation to win given your circumstances, etc).

We don't round up anymore? Give the kids their 15%.

Show your work then? OP just treated it as disjoint independent probabilities and just multiplied them together.

the problem is you can't say this is a great LSU team. This line is all based on Milroe running all over us last year and A&M and SC doing it also

At this point in time, it is that simple.

Certainly, the percentage chance of winning all four games changes as events occur. Tomorrow's percentage chance may be different from today's percentage chance. But the current state of events as of today, the probabilities of LSU winning those four games as of today, are baked into the odds provided by Las Vegas. If Nuss gets hurt tomorrow, Vegas will change the odds for the games, and the percentage chance that LSU wins all four games will decrease. If LSU beats Bama, the percentage chance that LSU wins all four games will increase. If Dellinger comes back, the percentage chance that LSU wins al four games will increase.

So while I agree that there are a lot of intangibles at play (momentum, injuries, motivation to win given your circumstances, etc), those intangibles have not happened yet. Accordingly, the percentage chance that I provided for TODAY is as accurate as any other calculation given the current facts.
