LSU dropped down to No. 9 in ESPN's College Football Power Rankings after losing to Florida over the weekend.

The Tigers were No. 6 in the power rankings last week.

9. LSU (5-1, 2-1 SEC)

Week 6 result: Lost to Florida 28-19
What's next: vs. Georgia (3:30 p.m. Saturday, TV TBA)

Losing in The Swamp is nothing to be ashamed of, or even unexpected, but the Tigers' sputtering offense looked awfully familiar to those who believed they had finally had solved those problems. Other than a 75-yard touchdown drive to open the game, LSU reverted to the sort of offense that has held it back against elite teams in the past. Joe Burrow was sacked five times and picked a terrible time for his first interception this season, a pick-six with 1:45 left in the contest that all but sealed LSU's fate. Worse, Florida cracked 200 yards rushing, which has been an ominous sign over the past four years: The Tigers are 0-5 when allowing 200 or more yards on the ground. And it only gets tougher from here. Next up: Georgia, Mississippi State and Alabama come to Tiger Stadium.
LSU plays Georgia at 2:30 pm CT on CBS this Saturday.
