LSU fans rejoice, it’s finally here… Week 1 of college football! The Tigers will kick off the season at home against the Clemson Tigers as all eyes are on Lane Kiffin and what he will do in his first year in Baton Rouge.

The Tigers certainly won’t have an easy path, with a schedule that features plenty of high-profile matchups. After opening with Clemson and hosting Louisiana Tech, LSU heads to Oxford to face Kiffin’s former team, Ole Miss, before returning home for Texas A&M. The Tigers will also face Alabama and Texas in back-to-back weeks at Tiger Stadium before closing the regular season with road games against Tennessee and Arkansas. If the Tigers can navigate the toughest stretches of their schedule and finish with a strong record, the Lane Train could drive LSU right into the middle of the College Football Playoff conversation.
