LSU has a chance to return to the College Football Playoff (CFP) for the first time since 2019, thanks to the expansion of the format to include 12 teams in 2024. This change marks a significant shift in the postseason structure, and all New Year’s Six games are now part of the playoff structure. Athlon Sports’ preseason preview magazine provides projections for each bowl game, and LSU is predicted to land in the Gator Bowl, facing Miami.
The Tigers have only played in the Gator Bowl once before, securing a win over South Carolina in 1987. However, LSU will aim to defy these rankings and earn a spot in the initial 12-team playoff field. Despite many key positions needing to be filled on both offense and defense, LSU will look to overcome these challenges and make a strong showing in the upcoming season.
