LSU Already Being Crowned a Playoff Team After Spring?

Spring football is officially over and the national perception around LSU is skyrocketing. In this episode of Locked On LSU, Matt Moscona breaks down the updated SEC Championship odds and why Vegas now views LSU as one of the top contenders in the conference under Lane Kiffin. Matt dives into why LSU sits ahead of programs like Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M in the latest projections, and what that says about expectations for the Tigers entering 2026. He also reacts to bold comments from Pete Fiutak and Chris Doering, both of whom believe LSU has legitimate College Football Playoff and national championship potential in year one under Kiffin. The episode also explores the massive investment LSU has made in its roster, why the Tigers are being viewed as a “win now” program, and the critical importance of Sam Leavitt staying healthy as LSU prepares for a massive season opener against Clemson.
