One down, LSU Fam. The LSU football team jumped inside the Top 5 of both national polls following its 17-10 win over Clemson on Saturday. The Tigers moved six spots to No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll, and they bumped up four positions to No. 4 in the AP Top 25. Dating back to 2000, LSU has been ranked at some point throughout the year for 26 consecutive seasons.

The No. 3 ranking in the Coaches poll is the highest ranking for the program since finishing the 2019 season as the No. 1 team in the nation. LSU was ranked No. 1 in the nation by the coaches for the final six polls in 2019 and for the final five AP Top 25s that year.

🎥 LSU+: THE PATH

The Path | 1-0 | S4 EP1

Since January, LSU Football has been relentless in its roster construction and preparation. With the addition of new faces and the return of familiar ones, the Tigers attacked this year's opener at Clemson with a different mindset and a single goal: to go 1-0 each and every week.

🔼 Final Piece of the Hoops Puzzle. LSU MBB coach Matt McMahon completed his coaching staff for the 2025-26 season with the announcement of John Janovsky as Director of Operations. Janovsky has been involved in the college basketball community for some 15 years, including stops at UAB, Marshall and Virginia Tech.

The new hire has been at North Carolina State for the last three seasons as director of scouting/quality control. During his time at NC State, the Wolfpack went to the NCAA Final Four in 2024.

Janovsky has SEC experience serving two years (2019-20 and 2021-22) at Mississippi State University, serving as director of operations during the 2021-22 season.

🔼 Tigers in the Wild. Three former Tigers made the NFL’s most recent “Top 100 Players of 2025” list. Ja’Marr Chase is No. 4 and the highest-rated receiver in the League. Joe Burrow No. 6, matching his highest ranking on the list. Wide Receiver Justin Jefferson came in at No. 9.

🔼 All Aboard the Nuss Bus. Online Sportsbook BetOnline released updated Heisman Trophy odds this week, with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier at 15/2 (+750).

Oklahoma passer John Mateer is the only one ahead of the Tiger QB, and is the current favorite at 7/1.

Nussmeier passed for 230 yards and one touchdown in the season-opening win at Clemson. He was 28-of-38 with a 73.7 completion percentage.
