Where LSU football ranks in US LBM Coaches Poll after dominant Week 7

LSU football experienced a climb in the US LBM Coaches Poll after a dominant Week 7 performance. The Tigers secured a 31-0 victory over Mississippi State, moving up from No. 21 to No. 17 in the rankings. This win was crucial for LSU, as they had suffered a loss to Kentucky in Week 6. A new No. 1 team has emerged at the top of the poll, as the Miami Hurricanes overtook Georgia following their loss to Auburn.

This shift resulted in back-to-back weeks where a No. 1 team fell, with Texas losing to Oklahoma in Week 6. Ohio State climbed to the second spot after winning against Indiana, while BYU, Georgia, and Texas Tech made up the top five. Notre Dame and Indiana maintained their positions in the top 10 despite losses to other top-10 teams.

Tennessee's victory over Alabama propelled them to No. 11, pushing Alabama down to No. 13. Mississippi State and Oklahoma State both fell out of the poll, contributing to LSU's rise. LSU will face Auburn in Week 8, but Auburn remains unranked despite their victory over Georgia. Notably, Auburn was listed in the receiving votes section, indicating their impact on the rankings.
