Tuesday evening the second College Football Playoff rankings came out and LSU (6-3) unsurprisingly took a tumble after getting beaten by Alabama over the weekend.
LSU dropped to No. 19 in this week’s poll. The Tigers are the highest ranked three-loss team. So they have that going for them which is nice. I suppose there’s a world where LSU finishes the regular season at 9-3 and sneaks into a New Year’s Six bowl a la 2018, but they’ll need a lot of help to get there. LSU will, of course, also need to win out which seems likely but the injury to Jayden Daniels makes things a little dicey.
