ESPN FPI Predicts LSU Football's Win Total With Texas A&M, Alabama and Oklahoma Left

No. 20 LSU (5-2, 2-2 SEC) will navigate a challenging stretch of Southeastern Conference matchups down the stretch of the 2025 season with the Bayou Bengals looking to bounce back in Week 9.

Brian Kelly and Co. will face a unique challenge this Saturday against No. 3 Texas A&M, but the remaining SEC foes on the schedule are daunting.

LSU's next three opponents sit in the Top-15 of the AP Top-25 Poll with two of them ranked in the top-five.

For Kelly and the Tigers, the program will look to continue fighting through a difficult 2025 season with a pair of losses already on the resumé after dropping two of the program's last three games.

“People have always talked bad about us anyway, so it doesn’t really affect us,” LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier said. “People will say what they’re going to say, and half the time they have no idea what they’re talking about. We try not to pay attention to that.

“We’ve been in this position before. The college football landscape has changed, so we know we’re not out of it. We just have to be better. We have to be perfect in our details and perfect the rest of the year. That’s the goal and the mindset.”

The ESPN Football Power Index has updated the algorithm with LSU's chances in each of the remaining five games revealed.
