The LSU football team’s win over Alabama sent shockwaves across college football.

Now, first-year head coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers are in the driver’s seat in the SEC West.

At 7-2 overall and 5-1 in SEC play, the Tigers control its own destiny with two remaining SEC games left in road trips to Arkansas and Texas A&M. If the Tigers win out, LSU is headed to Atlanta for the SEC Championship. If the Tigers win one of the two remaining conference games, Ole Miss (8-1 overall, 4-1 in SEC) would need to lose to either Alabama, Arkansas or Mississippi State for the Tigers to advance to the SEC title game.

With the shakeup in the SEC, the latest bowl projections now have LSU in a New Year’s Six Bowl.

CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm has released his latest bowl projections, and he has the Tigers matched up with Texas in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The Sugar Bowl will take place on Saturday, December 31 at 11 a.m. CST from the Caesars Superdome.
