The LSU Tigers picked a good week to be idle.
Week 6 Saturday was pure chaos around college football, with four top-10 teams going down and a fifth nearly suffering the same fate in Miami. In the SEC, two top-five teams lost to unranked opponents for the first time in league history as Alabama was stunned at Vanderbilt while Arkansas rallied to upset Tennessee.
All that chaos resulted in quite a bit of predictable movement within ESPN’s Football Power Index rankings, but that movement all happened around the Tigers. With LSU on bye, it’s staying put in this week’s update, remaining at No. 15.
The Tigers have the chance to gain some ground in these rankings when they return to the field on Saturday night in Week 7 with an Ole Miss team that ranks fifth in FPI coming to town.
