It’s been a historic season for LSU Shreveport and the Pilots can make more history today. If LSU S wins tonight, it will be their 57th straight victory which will tie the all-time college win streak set by Howard College in Texas. LSU-S will play at 8:30 central time in Lewiston, Idaho.

In Destin, Florida at the SEC meetings, Commissioner Greg Sankey said the league’s coaches are in favor of a five plus 11 model for the college football playoff. That would mean the five highest ranked conference champions would receive an automatic berth into the 16-team playoff starting in 2026 and then there would be 11 at-large bids. It’s believed this format would result in more SEC teams getting into the C-F-P. But SEC athletic directors would like to see more automatic qualifiers which would lead to a nine-game conference schedule.

 

A decision on the college football playoff for 2026 and beyond needs to be made by the conference leaders and Notre Dame by December 1st.
