LSU Tigers Move Up In Polls Despite Being Off Last Weekend

So the LSU Tigers football team were off last weekend on their bye week. The Tigers were off preparing for a huge SEC West showdown with Alabama this weekend.

Everyone knows how big of an LSU Tiger fan I am and this weekend is the pinnacle of the season! LSU will travel to Tuscaloussa to take on the Crimson Tide. #4 LSU and #7 Alabama will square off in primetime at 7:00 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally on CBS.

Despite being of last weekend, the Tigers still moved up in both national college football polls. LSU moved up from #5 to #4 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll. Here are the November 1st rankings.
