Tigers rise into top 5 of CFP Poll after Week 12

Tigers rise into top 5 of CFP Poll after Week 12

The Tigers still remain at No. 6 in the Coaches and AP Polls, with USC remaining ahead in both and jumping them after Week 12 in the latter.

But in the latest College Football Playoff Rankings, which were released Tuesday night ahead of the final weekend of the regular season, LSU has moved up one spot into the top five.

The top four of Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU, all of which are 11-0, remain unchanged this week. USC moved up a spot but didn’t jump LSU despite taking down a ranked UCLA squad on the road and only having one loss on the year.

Here’s how things stand in the top 10 entering rivalry week.
