LSU's playoff hopes hinge on its remaining schedule

After beating Auburn, LSU is 6-2 with a bye before Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee. Coverage says a 10-2 finish could bring LSU into the playoff conversation, but the difficult stretch leaves little margin for error; Alabama is set for Nov. 7 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC, in the final season of the teams’ annual meetings under the current arrangement. Whit Weeks could potentially return in November, though no return is confirmed.
