LSU unsurprisingly drops out of top 10 in College Football Playoff Rankings
The Tigers entered the weekend ranked No. 5 in the College Football Playoff Rankings and appeared to have a good shot at making the final four if they won their final two games.
There’s little chance of that now after LSU’s loss to Texas A&M, and in the updated CFP Rankings that were released on Tuesday night, the Tigers fell out of the top 10 entirely — as was expected.
Still, LSU faces Georgia in the SEC Championship this weekend and has a chance to pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season, though it likely wouldn’t affect the Bulldogs’ playoff hopes either way.
Here’s how the full top 25 looks entering championship weekend.
