Tigers Ranked 6th in Week 3 CFP Poll

Just keep climbing

Another week another win for the newly minted SEC West champion LSU Tigers (8-2, 6-1) and Brian Kelly’s squad moved up one spot to No. 6 in this week’s College Football Playoff poll.

Week 10 across the college football landscape was a largely unremarkable one. The top five (Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, TCU, Tennessee) all held firm. The only change was #6 Oregon falling at home to #25 Washington. Oregon’s loss is LSU’s gain though as the Tigers inch ever so closely to the top-four.

LSU’s fate is in their own hands. While no two-loss team has yet to make the College Football Playoff, if LSU is able to win its remaining two games (UAB and Texas A&M) and beat Georgia in Atlanta, they’ll have an awfully compelling case to jump into the field when the committee releases its final rankings on December 4.
