Three Matchups That Will Decide LSU’s Week 11 Game vs. Texas

The LSU Tigers' third loss of the season to No. 5 Alabama significantly impacted their chances of making the College Football Playoff.

In the first rankings that released on Nov. 3, the Tigers were placed just two spots out of the playoffs as the No. 14 team in the rankings. In the rankings that were released on Tuesday, LSU dropped to No. 22.

With only a little over three weeks left before the final playoff bracket is set, the Tigers' final three games carry significant weight for their post season hopes.

LSU's battle to the playoffs begins with their matchup against Texas. If the Tigers hope to come out on top on Saturday, they must win these three battles on the field.
