I understand that LSU was up 24-0 and gave up 21 unanswered points to LA tech. However, I still ranked LSU number 2 on my rankings. The Tigers regained their composure at the end of the game scoring 2 more touchdowns and winning 38-21. They also still have the best resume in the nation.
Teams that fell off rankings: 8 Oklahoma State (Lost to Texas Tech 17-41), 10 Mississippi State (Lost to Kentucky 7-21), 14 Virginia Tech (Lost to Old Dominion 35-49), 20 Washington State (Lost to USC 39-36), 23 Texas A&M (Lost to Alabama 45-23), 24 Oregon (Lost to Stanford 31-38)
