LSU is one of the two unbeaten teams remaining in Southeastern Conference play following its 34-10 win over Arkansas. The Tigers improved to 6-1 as they've completely turned their season around following a Week 1 defeat. Now, the Bayou Bengals travel to Texas A&M this weekend with the conference's top spot — and potentially a College Football Playoff place — on the line.
It's year three of the Brian Kelly era in Baton Rouge. The successful head coach has done well to turn around an LSU program that was left in ruins before he arrived on campus. The Tigers have won 10 games each of the last two seasons, but they have yet to get over the hump.

The LSU faithful are hoping this is the year that the Tigers' fortunes shift. The landscape of college football has changed as we know it and the new format benefits perennial contenders such as Penn State and LSU.
The SEC has done away with conferences, meaning one loss to an opponent like Alabama won't doom the Tigers' hopes of making their second SEC Championship Game in three years under Kelly. Further, an expanded 12-team College Football Playoff means teams can afford two or three regular season losses if they're convincing enough throughout the rest of the year.
Whether this will ultimately benefit LSU or not remains to be seen. The Tigers do have an easily navigatable schedule this year, but there are also a lot of question marks surrounding this young team.
