LSU jumped four spots in the Amway Coaches Poll Sunday — from No. 23 prior to the Tigers’ 38-21 win against Ole Miss to No. 19.
The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) also moved up six spots in Sunday’s weekly AP Poll release to No. 19 after Leonard Fournette’s single-game program record of 284 rushing yards versus Ole Miss (3-4, 1-3 SEC), who has fallen out of the top 25.
LSU fell out of the AP Poll after its Sept. 24 loss at Auburn and returned last week at No. 25 after its 45-10 pummeling of Southern Miss on Oct. 15.
LSU’s next opponent, Alabama, is first in both polls.
The undefeated Crimson Tide are set to travel to Baton Rouge on Nov. 5 and have won the previous five meetings against the Tigers.
