SEC West Champion Tigers move up in latest CFP Rankings
The Tigers certainly didn’t have their best game in a 13-10 victory at Arkansas, but in November, a win is a win. And with No. 6 Oregon’s loss to Washington in Week 11, someone was going to be moving up in the College Football Playoff Rankings this week.
The biggest question entering Tuesday night’s reveal was whether that team would be LSU or 9-1 USC. The Tigers ultimately got the edge, moving up one spot to No. 6 in this week’s rankings, just one spot behind Tennessee.
The top five remained unchanged this week, and LSU’s SEC Championship opponent Georgia held on to the No. 1 spot. Here’s how the top 10 looks heading into Week 12.
