Projection: likely out

LSU’s resume reads like a team with flashes of quality but too many damaging outings to feel safe: the dominant neutral wins over Drake and DePaul and a true road victory at Boston College are the clear high points, yet the neutral drubbing at Texas Tech and a string of road defeats at Florida, Arkansas, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M have eroded that momentum, and home setbacks against Kentucky and Mississippi State keep a marquee road or neutral signature conspicuously absent. The schedule still hands LSU chances to change the narrative with home dates against Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama and Oklahoma and tough tests at Tennessee, Texas, Mississippi and Auburn plus a return trip to Texas A&M, but until the Tigers turn a couple of those into statement wins away from home their body of work will register as short of what committees reward, which is why they project off the field.
