LSU football stays put in US LBM Coaches Poll after A&M win
LSU football throttled Texas A&M on Saturday night. Was it enough for LSU to make a jump in the US LBM Coaches Poll?
After a dominant 35-6 victory over Texas A&M in Week 4, LSU football maintained its position in the US LBM Coaches Poll. The Tigers currently sit at No. 11, just one spot outside the top 10. There was considerable movement across the rankings following a hectic Saturday. The Florida Gators ascended to the top 10 following a strong win against Ole Miss, while Ole Miss dropped to No. 12.
The University of Oregon Rebels remain a spot behind LSU, despite the latter's Week 3 triumph over A&M. Texas Longhorns retain their No. 1 ranking atop the poll, with Georgia Bulldogs at No. 2. Notre Dame, Miami, and Indiana complete the top five. Although LSU's win over Texas A&M was convincing, its Week 3 loss may still have influenced the voters' minds.
Climbing the rankings without teams ahead of LSU suffering defeats will be challenging. Currently ranked at No. 11, LSU remains a solid playoff contender as the team enters the critical portion of their schedule.
