11. LSU Tigers (22-5)
Previous ranking: 11
This week: vs. Texas A&M (Tuesday), at Alabama (Saturday)

LSU has a real chance to win the SEC regular-season title, or at least earn a share of it. The Tigers forged a three-way tie Saturday by beating Tennessee without Tremont Waters, and they have a much easier remaining schedule than Kentucky or Tennessee, who face each other later this week. LSU doesn't face either team the rest of the way.
