We are far away from the College Football season, but that did not stop Brad Crawford of CBS Sports from releasing his post-spring practice bowl projections for the 2025 season.

For the Tigers, Crawford has Brian Kelly making his first trip to the playoffs as the head coach at LSU.

LSU would be the No. 9 seed in the 12-team playoff, traveling to Eugene to face No. 8 Oregon in the first round.

Crawford has Oregon beating LSU and moving on to the quarterfinals to face No. 1 Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.

The worst Manning to ever play football is going to win the Championship! I’d bet the house that doesn’t happen!

How do you know he’s the worst. He’s going into basically his first full year with the reins.

Oregon is on here based on last year and they're fairly talented. They lost a lot of experience but then again, they play in a weak conference they probably will coast in. Notre Dame had the luckiest path I've ever seen and there's no way they will repeat that this year.

I wouldn't consider the B1G a weak conference.

You realize they’re not in the pac-12 anymore right?

Top 4 auto-bid

Take a look at their schedule. It’s unbelievably easy, hardest games are BYU & Ariz St both at home & maybe KSU to start the season in Dublin, Ireland.

Screw Iowa State

The penn st. love is laughable

The Manning nut hugging continues. They go on the road to Ohio St game one, go to Florida who should be better than last year, go to UGA who should be at worst, the same as last year, and play a better TAMU team at the end of the year. They will be lucky to not lose more than 2 regular season games. However lets say they only lose two, whomever they play in the SEC Championship game will be better than them. Notre Dame is getting by playing nobodies, however they do have decent TAMU and Miami teams to play against. Will try to play the first QB they have developed since Brian Kelly was there too. I see a 3 loss team. I can agree on Penn St, Ohio St, LSU, Oregon, UGA, and Clemson being in. Texas and Bama are fringe.

So they have us and Clemson both making it...interesting

Lololol. Who is oregons qb?

TommyDaTiger•2 days

Isn’t it the cat that transferred from Louisville via Gardner Webb was at Indiana before that when he left South Alabama and went there after Mississippi State where he had come from North Texas but let’s not forget Ball State where it all began for him as an early enrollee

RightWingTiger•2 days

And he's probably a Sophomore w/2 years to play still lol

Imagine a flipped 8 and 9 and we get Oregon in Death Valley. I'm drooling just typing this.

They need to lay these guys off in the off season. Go mow yards or something and stop costing us money.

Breesus•2 days

Would anyone even watch Penn v Texas?

TyOconner•1 day

No, that would be a blow out but I’m sure Penn St vs Texas would be a good game.

There won’t be 8 teams better than LSU this year. Sorry, ESPN

LSU_Legz•2 days

As you can tell by last year, the seeding isn't based on how good the teams are.

ThatTahoeOverThere•2 days

Gonna be some dog kickins and TV smashins in Bama this year

CajunBullet•2 days

And maybe a shooting or two!

If LSU loses the first game of the year for the 6th year in a row

Blueghost1978•1 day

So you’re saying that Texas is winning it all with a first year starter? That’s hilarious. Not happening.

Love the manning family. First Family of Louisiana. Fine group of folks.

It’s way too early for me to read this

HurricaneCamille•7 hours

It is too early to be this early. Predictions in May are about as valuable as Confederate currency.
