LSU rises in College Football Playoff rankings ahead of championship weekend

The Tigers are moving up thanks to Louisville’s loss to Kentucky.

The Tigers’ regular season is complete, and they once again finished 9-3 after getting their revenge from last season’s loss to Texas A&M with a 42-30 senior day victory.

Despite a few near-upsets, there wasn’t a ton of shakeup in the top 10 to allow LSU to move. The exception was Louisville, which fell out of the top 10 following a loss to rival Kentucky.

That allowed the Tigers to move up in both polls this week, and it was the same story in the College Football Playoff rankings. Here’s where the Tigers stand in the penultimate CFP rankings as we head into conference championship weekend.
