The Tigers have momentum on their side after an absolutely monumental win on Saturday against the previously No. 7-ranked Ole Miss Rebels.
With the win, LSU jumped into both the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25, landing in the top 20 of both polls. In the latest college football re-rank from USA TODAY Sports, the Tigers rank even higher.
They’re up 10 spots all the way to No. 16 this week, one spot ahead of Utah and one behind Penn State. The Rebels, meanwhile, dropped six spots to No. 14.
LSU has a bye this weekend before what will likely prove to be the most important game of the season against Alabama. The two teams currently share a lead in the SEC West, and the Week 10 contest on Nov. 5 could ultimately decide the division.
