LSU has responded nicely to a fifth-straight season-opening loss, reeling off four wins in a row to move to 4-1 as it heads into the bye week before a critical home game against Ole Miss.
As the Tigers continue to win, the analytics become higher on coach Brian Kelly’s team. After rising to No. 19 following a win over UCLA in Week 4, LSU is moving up even higher this week after its 42-10 win over South Alabama.
Now, the Tigers rank 15th, seventh among SEC teams. They come in one spot behind Missouri and two spots ahead of Oklahoma. Four SEC teams — Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee — rank inside the top five.
LSU will look to get things right this week before a game against the Rebels, which lost at home to Kentucky on Saturday and now have another tough game coming up on the road against South Carolina this weekend.
