LSU climbs several spots in AP Top 25 after big win over Auburn in Week 7

The Tigers now rank inside the top 20 in the latest AP poll.

After three straight weeks of shootouts marred by defensive troubles, LSU delivered a much more complete performance on Saturday night in a 48-18 home division win over Auburn.

The offense was as explosive as usual, and though it wasn’t facing one of the more prolific offenses in the league, the defense also stepped its play up as the Tigers moved to 4-1 in SEC play ahead of a game against Army and the bye. After that, it’s a massive road trip to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama.

With Saturday night’s win, LSU has moved up three spots in this week’s AP Top 25 to No. 19. Here’s how the full top 25 rankings look in the latest AP poll after the conclusion of Week 7.
