Only 3 groups that will play football in the fall are ranked above LSU on ESPN REIT. The REIT recently updated the Tigers’ chances of winning all 10 SEC games on the normal season schedule, and the Ed Orgeron team is the favorite in nine games.
First, an extensive course on REIT.
ESPN defines its REIT as “a measure of the strength of the team that claims to be the most productive indicator of a team’s functionality for the rest of the season”. REIT represents the number of problems above or below the average of a computer. Projected effects are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the REIT season, effects to date, and the remaining schedule. Notes and projections are updated daily. »
The ESPN FPI lists LSU’s chances of winning at 2.6%, while its chances of winning the Southeast Conference are 13.9%, with the odds of winning the West Division at 25.7%. The Tigers have a 40.8% chance of reaching the school football playoffs with an 18.3% chance of winning the league game and a 7.3% chance of winning it all for the time being consecutive season.

Here’s a look at the possibilities of LSU for a festival in 2020, according to the REIT.
LSU vs Mississippi State
When: September 26 (to be confirmed)
Where: Tiger Stadium
Series: LSU has a crushing lead, 75-35-3, in the series that won 18 in the last 20 games after the 36-13 victory at Starkville last year.
LSU REIT expected to win: 96.4%
FPI opponent: -0.7
Thin: Mike Leach replaced Joe Moorhead, giving the Bulldogs one of the most productive offensive minds on the counterattack. Leach asked Stanford Quarterback KJ Costello to review to consolidate the position with the Air Raid offensive installed. The Bulldogs have many paintings to do before their contenders, however, facing this attack from the start presents a formidable challenge for Bo Pelini’s defense.
LSU in Vanderbilt
When: October (to be confirmed)
Where: Nashville, Tenn.
Series: LSU has a 23-7-1 record in games opposed to the Commodores, an eight-game winning streak dating back to 1991.
LSU REIT expected to win: 96.6%
FPI opponent: -6.8
Thin: In a small surprise, LSU returns to Nashville for the time-in-time season following with news of LSU’s road to Vanderbilt. The Commodores suffered a 66-38 loss to LSU in 2019. The game was added as one of the two EAST SEC games to make it a 10-game calendar, just for the conference. One way to Missouri was the other game added to the LSU program.
LSU v. Missouri
When: October 10 (to be confirmed)
Where: Tiger Stadium
Series: LSU has a 23-7-1 record in games opposed to the Commodores, an eight-game winning streak dating back to 1991.
LSU REIT projected in play: 95.1%
FPI opponent: -2.4
Lean: LSU has not faced Missouri since 2016 and is not scheduled to face the Tigers until 2023. The following games on the calendar were closer to Kentucky and Tennessee, but perhaps the games were not painted for planning reasons, which caused Missouri to get into one of LSU’s two open fields to succeed in a 10-game schedule. Vanderbilt, the other SEC East game added to the LSU program. Missouri finished 3-5 in the SEC game and 6-6 overall a year ago.
LSU in Florida
When: October 10 (to be confirmed)
Where: Gainesville, Fla.
Series: LSU beat Florida, ranked, last year at Tiger Stadium, 42-28, and reduced the Gators’ lead in the series to 3 games with a 33-30-3 lead.
LSU REIT is expected to win: 54.4%
FPI opponent: 19.2
Maigre: Florida capped a season 11-2 with an 36-28 win over Virginia No. 24 in the Orange Bowl. The Gators took sixth place in the AP’s most recent vote and many are a genuine risk of taking Georgia out of the top spot in the SEC’s East Division after 3 consecutive No. 1 results. Dan Mullen returns with great talent, adding quarterback Kyle Trask, who had a great day at Tiger Stadium that wasn’t enough to beat the Tigers.
LSU v. South Carolina
When: October 24 (to be confirmed)
Where: Tiger Stadium
Series: LSU has won 18 of 21 games, the last six contests.
LSU reIT expected to be in play: 92.0%
OPPONENT’S FPI: 6.7
Skinny: After a 4-8 campaign, the worst time since 1999, it’s time to prevent for Will Muschamp. If things turn temporarily southward, your seat will burn as you walk through the tiger’s stadium. Ryan Hilinski returns after 11 starts as a rookie, where he finished 58% of his passes for just under 2,400 yards. The key is to locate the weapons around you. Muschamp beat the Tigers in the final round of recruitment of the five-star defensive lineman Jordan Burch. Orgeron would like a refund in November.
LSU in Auburn
When: October 31 (to be confirmed)
Where: Auburn, Wing.
Series: LSU has a 31-22-1 lead after a 23-20 win at Tiger Stadium in 2019.
Percentage of LSU REIT to win: 50.3%
FPI opponent: 20.7
Maigre: Gus Malzahn called Chad Morris as the new offensive coordinator to paint with quarterback Bo Nix. Defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s biggest questions in the spring are who replaces defensive supporters Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson, as well as 4 defensive backs, who have controlled to thwart LSU’s offensive enough to keep them at their lowest production point in 2019. While Malzahn did. defeating Alabama several times, it’s also the time of year when the harness or training carousel warms around it.
LSU v Alabama
When: November 14 (to be confirmed)
Where: Tiger Stadium
Series: LSU ended Alabama’s eight-game streak in the series with a 46-41 win at Tuscaloosa last November. That reduced Crimson Tide’s lead in the series to 53-26-5.
LSU REIT is expected to win: 42.4%
FPI opponent: 29.0
Skinny: After LSU’s first win in years over Crimson Tide, the Tigers are looking to make two in a row. A win over Nick Saban at Tiger Stadium would probably make LSU the SEC West favourite, but it probably wouldn’t be easy. This is the only game that the REIT lately doesn’t have a favorite LSU to win.
LSU in Arkansas
When: November 21 (to be confirmed)
Where: Fayetteville, Ark.
Series: The Tigers have won the last 4 Battle for the Boot games and have a 41-22-2 lead after a 56-20 victory at Tiger Stadium in 2019.
LSU REIT is expected to win: 91.4
FPI OPPONENT: 1.3
Maigre: Chad Morris’ joy ended before completing his season in Fayetteville and giving way to Sam Pittman as his successor. Pittman faces a difficult war on a show that has won only 8 games in the more than 3 years. LSU destroyed Arkansas last season in Baton Rouge, but that game went from the week after Alabama to October.
LSU in Texas A-M
When: November 28 (to be confirmed)
Where: College Station, Texas
Series: The Tigers extended their lead to 34-21-3 after a 50-7 win at Tiger Stadium that ended the 2019 season.
LSU REIT expected to win: 62.5%
FPI opponent: 16.7
Lean: 2020 is meant to be the year Jimbo Fisher takes the Aggies to the fore. The timing is more favorable, however, drawing Alabama in Week 2 and Florida the following week can make the first hopes quicker. Kellen Mond is back as a quarterback with a large majority of starters in 2019, adding offensive lineman Isaiah Spiller and open catcher Jhamon Ausbon. Can the Aggies overcome the pothole?
LSU v Ole Miss
When: December 5 (to be confirmed)
Where: Tiger Stadium
Series: In 108 games, LSU has a 63-41-4 merit and a four-game winning streak after last year’s 58-37 win at Oxford.
LSU REIT is expected to win: 91.7%
OPPONENT’S FPI: 6.7
Maigre: Lane Kiffin took office after Miss Ole fired head coach Matt Luke after the egg bowl debacle. Kiffin, whom Orgeron nearly hired as his first offensive coordinator in Baton Rouge, will travel to Tiger Stadium for his first game since his education in Alabama with last year’s starter John Rhys Plumlee at the back of the center.
