LSU does not join SEC celebration

The task for LSU football coach Lane Kiffin is quite clear.

The Tigers need to be in the discussion of teams on the morning of Selection Sunday. LSU cannot have its name not brought up until the afternoon of Selection Sunday.

Such was the situation for the Tigers football program Sunday.

Five Southeastern Conference teams will be participants in the College Football Playoffs. Georgia received the league’s automatic bid by winning the SEC championship game.
