The LSU Tigers knocked off an AP Top 10 opponent for the third time this season and subsequently jumped ahead of Alabama for the No. 1 spot in this week's poll. Even more importantly, thanks to Oklahoma's loss to Kansas State, both LSU and Alabama are projected for the College Football Playoff, even though one of them is guaranteed to lose in Week 11.
The gap atop the poll is razor-thin, though, and not just between Nos. 1 and 2. Ohio State picked up a good chunk of votes after blowing out Wisconsin and now sits just eight points behind LSU at No.
