The College Football Bowl season is just around the corner, with the Tigers learning their postseason destination in a few weeks.

Throughout the season, LSU was projected to play in the ReliaQuest Bowl, formerly The Outback Bowl, on January 1, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

Most projections this week also have the Tigers in the ReliaQuest Bowl, with their opponent being Notre Dame.

The matchup would be Brian Kelly's first time facing his old team. Per Lafayette Daily Advertiser:

CBS Sports also has LSU headed to ReliaQuest Bowl but facing NC State instead.

If LSU face Notre Dame in the ReliaQuest Bowl on the first, with the huge alumni of both teams and the storylines, this will be one of the highest rated games of the New Year.

Playing ND would be interesting but I need a game vs Iowa. Best offense and worst defense vs worst offense and best defense

You would get a great game of football and a dramatic narrative to go behind it

I’d rather play NC State. I don’t recall having played them before.

Tampa words. I usually have to dodge 53 muggings on the walk to the Citrus Bowl.

Notre Dame or North Carolina are better options than a bowl game vs Iowa!

That would be an intriguing matchup on a few levels beyond the obvious. LSU would win by 10-14. Would be a good ratings draw for sure.

F*ck Notre Dame. I don't want to play them, they're boring as shite and beat us during the most mundane boring years (2014-2017, such uneventful years)

Whos to say any of LSUs top players play this game? This only becomes an intriguing matchup if daniels, Thomas and Nabors all play. Which is no certainty. While this matchup may be great for everyone else, these players have nothing to play for
