LSU football remained ranked in the US LBM Coaches Poll, despite picking up its fourth loss of the season vs. Texas on Saturday night. The Tigers came in at No. 23 in Sunday's poll, falling one spot. Texas stayed put at No. 8 after the Longhorns' last-second win.
LSU controlled the game for most of the night, but the LSU offense sputtered in the second half, and the Texas offense made enough plays in the clutch, ripping off a game-winning drive to take a 22-21 lead.
With the loss, LSU's CFP hopes are dead. The Tigers needed to win out and finish 9-3 to have a chance. But that was a tough ask given the strength of LSU's remaining schedule. All four of LSU's losses have come against ranked opponents, and the Tigers haven't been able to close out games
against quality opponents.
Next up for LSU is a road trip to face Tennessee. The Volunteers are ranked No. 8 in Sunday's coaches' poll.
