Tigers moving up in US LBM Coaches Poll after final week of the regular season
There were quite a few near-upsets in the final week of the regular season, but chalk ultimately held, for the most part.
The only top 10 teams to lose were Louisville, which was stunned by rival Kentucky, and Ohio State, which suffered its third loss in a row against rival Michigan and is likely now out of the College Football Playoff picture.
While the Buckeyes remain in the top 10, the Cardinal dropped behind LSU, which moved up a spot as the regular season comes to a close.
