Projection: first four out
LSU's current resume reflects some troubling trends, particularly in defensive performance, where they've struggled against stronger opponents. A significant moment was their loss to Pittsburgh, a tough team that exposed vulnerabilities in that area. Their victories against lower-ranked teams, like their dominating win over Stetson and narrow wins against UCF, don't carry the weight needed for a strong tournament push. Upcoming games against teams like Arkansas and Alabama will be critical, as competing successfully against these opponents could boost their credentials significantly. However, with a schedule that features several tough matches ahead, the potential for slipping further down the seeding line is very real if they can't capitalize on these chances.
