LSU enters the 2026 season with one of the SEC’s most intriguing projections.
BetOnline has set the Tigers’ conference win total at 5.5, matching Alabama, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Texas A&M while trailing only Georgia and Texas at 6.5. With the SEC now playing a nine-game conference schedule, a 6-3 league record would cash the over and likely keep LSU firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation.
For a program with a reported $40 million-plus roster and championship expectations, oddsmakers clearly expect LSU to contend immediately.
