3 prediction markets price this story:

  • LSU to beat Texas in regular season and National Championship — the market puts it at 9%, with $10 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 8 Feb 2027. LSU must win both its regular-season game against Texas and the 2026-27 National Championship game for the outcome to be Yes. The market resolves to No if LSU loses either of those two specific games.
  • LSU — the market puts it at 30%, closing 14 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if LSU is ranked in the top three of the AP Top 25 College Football Poll at any point during the 2026-27 season. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about Ole Miss as relevant, but only LSU's ranking matters.
  • 9+ wins — the market puts it at 69%, with $11 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the LSU college football team records at least nine wins during the 2026 regular season. It resolves to No if the team finishes with fewer than nine wins in that same period. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it depends on postseason games or bowl eligibility rather than just the regular season record.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
