LSU kept its College Football Playoff hopes alive with one of the most significant wins of the [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] era on Saturday night against Ole Miss.
In a game they never led until it was over, the Tigers hung around and managed to make enough timely plays to get the game to overtime despite offensive inefficiency. After forcing a field goal, [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] won the game with a 25-yard passing touchdown to [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag].
With the win, LSU is the biggest climber in the AP Top 25 after Week 7, moving up five spots into the top 10 and coming in at No. 8. The Tigers also rank No. 8 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, though they entered the week ranked in the top 10.
The Tigers will be a consensus top-10 team when they hit the road to face Arkansas in Week 8. Here’s the full AP Top 25 after Week 7.
