LSU continues to rise in US LBM Coaches Poll after bye in Week 9
While LSU was on a bye in Week 9 preparing for a massive game against Alabama next weekend, it wasn’t the most eventful weekend in college football.
We didn’t see a ton of shakeup in the national rankings, though there were some upsets. No. 6 Oklahoma suffered its first loss of the season against Kansas, while a pair of top-20 teams in Oregon State and North Carolina were upset by unranked opponents in Arizona and Georgia Tech, respectively.
With those losses, LSU is moving up in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll despite being idle in Week 9. Here’s how the full top 25 looks this week.
