Where LSU stands in the Football Power Index top 25 after sealing SEC West title
The Tigers have clinched a division title in Year 1 under Brian Kelly and will be heading to Atlanta to take on Georgia in the SEC Championship on Dec. 3.
LSU clinched by virtue of a win over Arkansas on Saturday, but it wasn’t exactly pretty. The Tigers’ offense struggled, and Jayden Daniels turned the ball over twice while being sacked seven times.
The victory may have sealed LSU’s spot in the title game, but it was far from a confidence-inspiring performance. As a result, the Tigers actually fell one spot in the latest ESPN Football Power Index rankings.
Here’s how the top 25 breaks down after Week 11.
