Where Tigers land in AP Top 25 after championship weekend
We’re now onto bowl season after a wild championship weekend that featured Alabama upsetting Georgia in the SEC Championship.
While the rest of the championship matchups in the Power Five proved to be chalky, that win had a massive impact on the College Football Playoff race. After Florida State struggled again in a win over Louisville, the Jordan Travis-less Seminoles were left out in favor of Nick Saban’s squad.
The chaos of conference title weekend shook up the top 10, but not so much beyond that. LSU held its spot in the US LBM Coaches Poll, and the same is true in the AP Top 25 this week.
