LSU drops 5 spots in AP Top 25 after Week 1 loss to USC

The Tigers rank No. 18 in the latest AP Top 25 after their loss to USC on Sunday night.

The LSU Tigers began the 2024 season with quite a bit of optimism despite so many new faces, entering as a top-15 team in both polls.

But they’re falling after they began the year with a ranked loss to USC in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Following that 27-20 defeat, the Tigers dropped seven spots to No. 19 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. In the latest AP Top 25, it’s a similar story.

Previously ranked No. 13, LSU dropped five spots and will enter its Week 2 home opener against Nicholls ranked No. 18.

The Tigers are one of eight SEC teams that remain ranked in the top 25 after Texas A&M dropped out of the rankings following an opening weekend loss to Notre Dame in College Station.
