After a 36-13 win over Mississippi State, LSU (7-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) remained at No. 2 in the AP poll and No. 3 in the Coaches poll.
Alabama (7-0, 4-0 SEC) still remains No. 1 in both polls, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa underwent ankle surgery on Sunday. Tagovailoa suffered a high ankle sprain against Tennessee, but he’s expected to recover in time for LSU and Alabama’s game on Nov. 9.
LSU still has one more game remaining before getting a shot at Alabama, however. No. 9 Auburn (6-1, 3-1 SEC) travels to Tiger Stadium on Saturday.
It’s the third top 10 matchup LSU will have played so far this season, and Auburn hasn’t won in Tiger Stadium since 1999.
