The LSU Tigers continue to free fall. Brian Kelly's squad was dominated by Texas A&M by a score of 49-25 on Saturday night, and now has a lot of work to do over the bye week. Already with three losses, LSU still has to face Alabama and Oklahoma on the road, as well as Arkansas at home. Fans are fed up with Kelly, which has buyout talk dominating the headlines once again.
The Associated Press released its Week 10 college football poll on Sunday afternoon. LSU is nowhere to be found.
LSU falls out of top-25 in AP Poll
LSU entered Week 9's matchup against Texas A&M ranked as the No. 20 team in the country according to last week's AP Poll. After an embarrassing loss to Texas A&M, LSU is no longer ranked. The move isn't surprising, as LSU has underperformed all season long, and was somewhat lucky to still be ranked last week after losing to Vanderbilt. Texas A&M held steady in the No. 3 spot, and is 8-0 for the first time since 1992.
The Tigers are now 5-3 overall with a 2-3 mark in SEC play. LSU's wins this season are against Clemson (3-4), Florida (3-4), South Carolina (3-5), as well as Louisiana Tech and FCS Southeastern Louisiana. That's not exactly a murderer's row of opponents. LSU has lost all three of its biggest games, which continues an unfortunate theme for Brian Kelly's tenure thus far in Baton Rouge.
It will be a loud bye week in Baton Rouge. The LSU Football program has a lot to figure out before heading to Tuscaloosa to face the Alabama Crimson Tide on Nov. 8. The Tide are 7-1 overall and undefeated with a 5-0 record against SEC competition. They are ranked No. 4 in the Week 10 AP Poll.
