LSU basketball not ranked in Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll

The LSU basketball team is not ranked in the AP Top 25 or the Ferris Mowers coaches poll despite sitting at 8-2 on the season.

The LSU Tigers are not ranked in either the AP Top 25 Poll or the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll this week.

Although the Tigers are 8-2, the program has yet to beat or play a ranked opponent. All 10 of the Tigers’ games up to this point have been against unranked opponents.

LSU’s game against Missouri last weekend was postponed and the Tigers played Ole Miss instead. Had the Missouri game taken place, a win for LSU would have likely pushed them to being ranked in both polls.

In the AP Top 25 poll, the Tigers received seven votes this week. But in the coaches poll, LSU is not listed in the receiving votes category.

The Tigers are currently scheduled to play just one ranked SEC opponent- No. 10 Tennessee- in conference play. In the Big 12/SEC Challenge, LSU will host No. 15 Texas Tech.

Overall in the SEC, the conference has three teams ranked in this week’s Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll.

Here are the updated rankings for Week 8 of the coaches poll.
