The US LBM Coaches Poll dropped on Sunday morning and LSU remained unranked, appearing in the receiving votes section and earning just one point.
It was expected after LSU was unranked last week and was idle on conference championship weekend.
LSU was joined by Tulane and Louisiana in receiving votes. Both the Green Wave and the Ragin’ Cajuns finished ahead of the Tigers with six points.
With South Carolina at No. 14 and Ole Miss at No. 15, LSU has two wins over top 15 squads. But three of the Tigers’ four losses came to unranked teams with Texas A&M, Florida, and USC all unranked.
LSU’s other loss was the 42-13 home drubbing by Alabama. The Crimson Tide come in at No. 11.

LSU still has a chance to finish the year ranked with a strong performance in the bowl game.
