“We’ve reached this point of ridiculousness in college football. It started this year when you fire 2 coaches, 3 games into the season, and now you’re firing just anybody who doesn’t win an SEC championship,” Gottlieb said on Fox Sports, commenting on the situation surrounding Kelly’s dismissal from LSU.

On his show, Gottlieb recalled that he found Kelly’s firing somewhat unjustified, knowing that LSU lost games against genuinely strong teams. He argued that despite the losses, the Tigers were still likely to finish the year with a good record.

LSU’s schedule following Kelly’s exit

Three losses in the last four games is certainly a difficult situation, but as Gottlieb pointed out, the defeats came against Top-25 ranked teams: Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&M. Now, in the week of November 8th, LSU must face Alabama without Kelly, and the game will be on the road.

In the last three matchups between Alabama and LSU, two victories went to the Crimson Tide, the most recent being a 42-13 win in Baton Rouge in 2024. The Tigers have not defeated Alabama since November 2023, when they won 32-31 in overtime at home.

After Alabama, LSU’s final three regular season games are against Arkansas, Western Kentucky, and Oklahoma. For now, they hold a 5-3 overall record, placing them outside the Top 25, but they do not have the worst record in the SEC. They still have a chance to win and climb a few spots in the standings.

Florida State reach the end of their season in a very strong form as the No.16 ranked team in the nation. After three losses with ranked opponents (Wake Forest, NC Stateand Clemson), the Seminoles bounced back with four straight wins: Georgia Tech, Miami, Syracuse and Louisiana. With an 8-3 record, they are on pace to finish second in the ACC Atlantic division.

Florida have a 6-5 record in what’s been a pretty bittersweet season for head coach Billy Napier with losses against contenders such as Kentucky, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia. The Gators lead the all-time series37-26-2 and have won the last three meetings between these two teams, but are a 9.5-point underdog on the road.
