If they beat Gonzaga, I'm not sure if they'll even break the top 25, they'd at least receive votes though. And keep in mind that many in the college basketball world, including AP and coaches' poll voters, despise Wade and could let personal feelings affect how they vote for LSU.

If LSU beats Gonzaga at Gonzaga they will be in the top 15.

Even if we beat Gonzaga next week, we will most likely not be Top 15. We currently do not have any votes in the AP and only 3 in the Coaches Poll. We aren't going to essentially jump 30 spots with a win. Probably Top 25. Regardless of the outcome this weekend, I think this team will be ranked in the Top 25 by SEC play.

It has been well documented this offseason that LSU has probably the highest volatility because the roster unknowns. If LSU went on the road and beat Gonzaga with the other performances they've had I think people would be totally fine making a larger than normal adjustment to their ranking of LSU.

You absolutely do when a wait and see team is dominating to start the season, then has a massive road win against a big name team. Evan Miyakawa, whose voice matters and the basketball talking heads listen to, is very high on LSU. LSU is currently #9 in his rankings.

Edit: LSU will not be top 15 in either poll if we beat Gonzaga. Top 25 is definitely possible, but not a guarantee.

If we have just a competitive, close loss @Gonzaga, we'll start getting more top 25 votes and be on the fringe. If we beat them, I bet in the 20-25 range, closer to 20.
A lot of voting and poll analysis was done prior to our roster being completed e.g. projected SEC rankings. Now we're getting highly respected people like Mark Few in the sport saying we've got a nasty roster.
Couple that with blowing out some teams so far this season.

They head in to Thanksgiving undefeated with a win over #14 Gonzaga on the road, they'll definitely make the rankings. Don't know about top 15, but top 25 for sure. Too bad that game is on Saturday while all the college football games will be on, or it will get more views/headlines.

LSU got 3 votes in the Coaches Poll this week. Beat Gonzaga in Spokane and LSU will very much jump into the 15ish range. Beat Houston in Houston and they'll have earned a Top 10 ranking.
Realistically, LSU likely drops both games. Still, there is a lot of basketball to play. As long as this 3 game start isn't a fluke (the elite defensive numbers indicate it's not); LSU should be solid favorites in every other non-conference matchup. High Point is the only other non-conference game vs a team picked to make the Field of 72.
eta: I could see LSU dropping one of SMU/Arizona State as those are neutral site games out in California and "that's basketball".
12-2 or 11-3 in the non-conference slate, and LSU will be in a very good position heading into SEC play.
