LSU sits just outside of top 10 in ESPN’s Football Power Index after win over Florida
LSU delivered one of the most impressive offensive performances we’ve seen in a while on Saturday, exceeding 700 total yards of offense as Jayden Daniels became the first player in FBS history to throw for more than 350 yards and rush for over 200 in the same game.
Unfortunately, the game was tighter than it should have been thanks to another rough outing from the Tigers defense, and after ranking in the top 10 of ESPN’s Football Power Index heading into the weekend, they saw a slight drop and now sit just outside the top 10 entering Week 12.
Here’s how the full top 25 looks in the ESPN FPI as LSU prepares to host Georgia State on Saturday night.
