There are only a handful of teams that still have a chance at the College Football Playoff, but at No. 7 in the latest rankings, LSU is one of those squads.
On Wednesday night, ESPN host Dari Nowkhah laid out scenarios for nine of the top teams to make it into the final four, and LSU’s is certainly interesting.
As you can see below, Nowkhah thinks the Tigers can make the Playoff if they beat Texas A&M on Saturday and get some help from Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game and a loss from Oklahoma at some point:
#7 LSU:
– Win at Texas A&M AND Northwestern wins Big Ten title AND Alabama beats Georgia AND Oklahoma loses.
*They aren't out of this yet, which may surprise you*

Would that be enough to prevent other teams (like Washington State and UCF) from passing them in the rankings?
We’ll have to find out if the above scenario actually happens, which would be absolute chaos.
