ESPN's Football Power Index: LSU has a 21.2 percent chance of reaching the 12-team College Football Playoff and a 4.3 percent chance of winning the SEC Championship.

LSU will take it week to week, but it's simple: The Bayou Bengals must win to maintain their postseason goals, with games against Alabama, Florida, Vanderbilt and Oklahoma still on the 2024 schedule.

ESPN's FPI provided initial predictions for the Tigers' remaining schedule.

LSU will have one 32 percent Chance to defeat the Crimson Tide on November 9th, a 59 percent Chance against the Gators and a 75 percent against the Sooners, with the Tigers also expected to emerge victorious against Vanderbilt.

However, LSU is the favorite in three of the final four games of the season and only one game is an underdog against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Ahead of the preseason game against the Crimson Tide, LSU will focus on developing a consistent defensive game plan for dual-threat quarterback Jalen Milroe while sharpening the offense and special teams.

“We have to be really good at a few things, and this is what we do, and let's get really good at it.” We have the bye week. We're going to clean up some things. We have a good football team. Tonight was a bad half of football for us. And we're going to work on ourselves again and get ready to play better football,” Kelly said after the loss at Texas A&M.

The game odds are updated regularly and are subject to change.
