LSU enters its first bye outside of the top 10 in the latest AP and Coaches polls after suffering its first loss as one of the headlines of a chaotic Week 5.
The No. 13 Tigers (4-1, 0-1) stumbled, 24-19, at Ole Miss (5-0, 3-0), which catapulted to No. 4 on both new lists released Sunday.
LSU was among four top-10 teams to suffer losses, setting up major shakeup in the latest rankings.
Ohio State (4-0) remains No. 1, followed in both polls by No. 2 Oregon (5-0), No. 3 Miami (4-0) and the Rebels.
A pair of SEC programs split the No. 5 positions: Oklahoma (4-0) in the AP, and Texas A&M (4-0) in the Coaches.
While previous top-five LSU and Georgia each suffered losses, the SEC maintains two the top three, five of the top 10 , eight of the top 15 and 10 of the top 20 teams on both lists.
The Tigers are each poll’s fifth-highest one-loss team behind Penn State (3-1), Texas (3-1), Georgia (3-1) and Alabama (3-1).
