Hey y'all, the LSU Tigers ain't lookin' too hot for the playoff berth after gettin' a whoopin' from Bama in Week 11. They sit at No. 22 with a measly 7.7% chance makin' it to the National Championship. But the anticipation for their bowl game is stirrin' some pots. Right now, the buzz says LSU's likely headin' to the Gator Bowl come Jan. 2 to tussle with Louisville. Ol' CBS Sports and them are predictin' that matchup again and again. The Gator ain't no spring chicken, bein' the sixth oldest bowl game down yonder in Jacksonville, Fla. Meanwhile, them folks at 247Sports reckon the Tigers might clash with the Michigan Wolverines in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn. Come bowl season, things could turn 'round fast—like a squirrel at a Sunday picnic. Folks like ESPN’s Heather Dinich still sees a path for a three-loss SEC team rockin' the playoffs if the cards fall just so, but LSU's road remains rocky. They better hope them chips fall just right, but hey, stranger things have happened down in the good ol' SEC.
