Tigers see a boost in AP Top 25 despite being inactive in Week 9

LSU is moving up in the polls this week despite being on a bye in Week 9.

It wasn’t the most eventful weekend of college football, but we did see a pair of teams above the Tigers get knocked off. Oklahoma suffered its first loss of the season against Kansas, Oregon State was upset by Arizona and Utah was demolished by Oregon.

LSU saw its ranking rise by two spots to No. 13 in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll, and it’s seeing a similar rise in this week’s AP Top 25.

Here’s how the full poll looks this week as the Tigers prepare to face Alabama in Week 10.
