LSU has a bye this weekend after their, 38-23, loss on the road to Texas A&M Saturday.
Before their trip to College Station, several media outlets and publications had the Tigers projected to potentially make the 12-team playoff at the end of the season.
However, after the loss, and with their record dropping to 6-2, they are now on the outside looking in for the inaugural edition of the expanded playoff. Regardless, they are still in the running for some great bowls and some great matchups at the end of the season by nearly every outlet.
Here’s a look at where LSU landed in the most recent bowl projections from 11 different publications including our own.
