Okay, so, let’s talk about LSU football. More specifically, I wanna get into whether or not they’re in the playoffs this year. I spent a good chunk of my day digging into this, so let me walk you through what I found.
First Steps: Checking the Standings
First thing I did was pull up the current college football standings. I wanted to see where LSU was sitting. Turns out, they’re ranked at No. 15. Not exactly playoff territory, right? I figured this might be the case, but I wanted to see the numbers for myself.
Diving Deeper: The Playoff Picture
Next, I started looking into how many teams actually make it to the playoffs. It’s 12 teams this year, which is different. That got me thinking, even if they’re No. 15 now, could they still somehow squeeze in? Maybe?
Facing Reality: The Losses
Here’s where things got a bit grim. LSU has four losses this season. Four! I read somewhere that with that many losses, their chances of making the playoffs are basically zero. Even if they win their remaining games and somehow get to the SEC title game, it’s still a no-go. That’s what some article said, anyway. Apparently, the playoff committee just wouldn’t consider them with that record.
Tiebreaker Talk
- I stumbled upon something about tiebreakers, too.
- It sounded like even if there was a tie, LSU would’ve won those against some teams, like Alabama and Ole Miss.
- But honestly, with four losses, tiebreakers don’t even matter.
Acceptance
It took me a while, but I finally accepted it. LSU is not making the playoffs this year. I pored over articles, double-checked rankings, and even browsed through some fan forums. But at the end of the day, it is what it is. Maybe next year, LSU!
