The LSU Tigers played one of their better games on Labor Day Sunday over the past three years but they couldn't quite pull it out as they lost to the USC Trojans by a score of 27-20. The loss sent head coach Brian Kelly on a tirade during the postgame press conference where he threw his team under the bus.

Luckily for the Tigers, the voters in the Associated Press' top-25 poll didn't do the same, but they did stumble in the poll by dropping five spots to 18th.


They aren't the only big movers. Florida State dropped completely out of the poll after being ranked 10th in the preseason and Clemson fell 11 spots from 14th to 25th after being steamrolled by Georgia.

USC jumped up 10 spots to 13th after the big win and Miami leaped seven with their massive win in The Swamp over Florida.
