Does LSU play today? College football schedule for Tigers' next game after Week 10

Week 10 of the college football season is underway, but one of the best teams, the No. 16 LSU Tigers (6-2), are on an open week. The Tigers will be in action again next week when they host the No. 14 Alabama Crimson Tide.

Does LSU play today?

No, the Tigers do not play today or at all in Week 10. This is their second and final open week of the season. They will take this opportunity to recover before starting the final stretch of their season. It starts next week and continues with three consecutive games afterward.

Can LSU make it to the college football playoffs this season?

Yes, the Tigers can make the 2024 college football playoffs, but they made things more difficult for themselves by losing 38-23 to No. 10 Texas A&M last week. Before the loss, LSU sat within the top 10 of the AP Top 25 Poll, but the loss dropped them several slots. The team is still in the playoff mix, but if the season ended today, it would not make the playoffs.

In the new 12-team playoff field, the top five conference champions earn the first five playoff slots. The next seven berths are allocated to the next seven highest-ranked teams as assessed by the CFP selection committee. To make the playoffs, the Tigers will most likely need to be ranked in the top 12 in the nation.

Their chances of winning the SEC went down significantly with their loss to Texas A&M. The Tigers need to catch and pass the Aggies because Texas A&M has the tiebreaker thanks to their head-to-head win. As a result, winning the conference is likely not an option.

Making it as one of the other seven teams is possible, but the upcoming game against Alabama is likely essential. The Crimson Tide is the final-ranked opponent on LSU's schedule. Defeating them would likely get the Tigers back into the top 12, but a loss could drop them out of playoff contention.
