Rough weekend for Tigers fans
Earlier in the week, I had an LSU fan call me and tell me that by Monday morning LSU would be No. 1 in the polls again.
His thought process was that No. 1 Ohio State would lose at Penn State and No. 2 Boston College would lose at Virginia Tech.
Neither happened.
LSU will be ranked No. 3 when the polls come out on Sunday.
Give credit to Ohio State. The Buckeyes did what LSU couldn't do - win on the road as the No. 1-ranked team in the country.
Boston College was a much closer call.
About the only thing to cheer up LSU fans this weekend was the losses of USC and Florida.
USC's loss makes it only remotely possible for the Trojans to reach the title game. And Florida's loss puts a dent in the Gators' hopes of getting to the SEC title game.
The job for LSU is to take care of Alabama next week because, oh by the way, the Crimson Tide is tied for first in the SEC West. And you can't think about the national title game without first getting to the SEC title game.
