The loss to Ole Miss knocks LSU down a peg or two, but the win over Clemson keeps them from falling too far.

smartkeg 8 Damn near completed the comeback against the new #1. Demolishing Clemson gives this team an impressive resume and within striking distance of what I view as the elite group. Their QB is very shaky.

jrich960608 9 I’m not going to punish a team for going into Ole Miss and having a chance to tie it at the end. I think the Clemson game didn’t do LSU any favors because it’s clear Clemson is bad. I think Leavitt is good with his legs but clearly has steps to take as a passer, the defense is good, maybe really good, but they are lacking the whole package as of week 3. I wish they would utilize the running backs more because that’s a good group.

Justanother_0 10 This team breaks whenever Leavitt does. This holds especially true should he get too overzealous on a QB sneak and get KO-ed (or if he goes a little too hard in the pickup basketball games).
KansasEF5Tornado 10
Lefunnymaymays4lief 10 (-4) So much for the superteam hype. Just like the prior season, Clemson win aging like a stick of Juicy Fruit. Leavitt health and consistency and depth at skill positions a major concern

Tarmacked 10 Sam Leavitt is the most inconsistent passer known to man, but they are still managing to overperform his lackluster passing due to strong playcalling and Leavitts own legs.
Texasagsman 10
TheUltimate721 10 It was time to pump the brakes on the LSU hype. Josh Pate said it was "drugs" that they weren't Top 3 after beating Clemson week 1, I think it's more a reasonable tempering of your expectations (Especially since Clemson has significantly fallen off from their highs). LSU has talent, no doubt, but they are very rough around the edges. They played like what they are: A mercenary squad under a new head coach.

Doogitywoogity 14 Lane Kiffin’s LSU is a confusing squad. Dominated a bad Clemson, which looks less impressive as time goes on. Rough first half vs Louisiana Tech, which isn’t terrible just not great. And then a close loss to Ole Miss. The Tigers are still an upper tier team as far as I can tell, but they seem all over the place possession to possession. Luckily they face A&M at home and the Ags just got clocked by UK after needing a spectacular collapse from ASU the week before. A&M, McNeese, and UK should give them a good bounce back period to get right after the high school ish drama of the last week.

Pyromania1983 14 LSU still has a really good team. The first two weeks were pure dominance, and week 3 was still a very close matchup against a really good Ole Miss team. They have a few more weeks to sort things out before facing the big dogs of the conference. Week 4 might be tough against a Texas A&M team that just got upset, so a big bounceback win is definitely in order.

_THE__BOULDER_ 8 I feel like Leavitt's first instinct is to run, rather than to throw. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but it felt like he scrambled as often as he could. He was 16/27 for 158 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, but had 17 carries for 63 yards and 1 TD as well. Dillon Jones also had a good day, 106 yards and 1 TD over 23 carries.

jtchr33 8 By far the hardest ranking this week. Have them over OSU due to the competitiveness throughout the game. That schedule is tough, expect this team to move a lot, I think it will be a bumpy path.
MotherQuocer 8
noah_divine 8 If LSU had not made proper halftime adjustments, they would have been dropped much further, but I was impressed with their comeback effort despite the loss. I think this is still a great team, but they just don't stack up to the teams above them just yet, and that Clemson win isn't looking as great as it did before.

d1sportsball 10 LSU has had a rollercoaster ride this season, with the beatdown of a sorry Clemson, the slow start against La Tech and the wild Ole Miss return game for Kiffin. But what we've learned is that Sam Leavitt just isn't quite as good of a passer as Kiffin may hope, but he makes up for it with his underrated legs. It was a pretty good game vs Ole Miss, but the Rebels were in control from start to finish, something that can't be said about the Louisville game.

GrimmacingGrinny 11 After a brutal first half, the defense fought back and held Ole Miss to just 8 in the second half. It was too much ground to make up, as Leavitt threw an interception on 4th & goal. There were long stretches in this game where Leavitt seemed to depend on his legs too much, and missing his wide open TE in the end zone was a stark contrast to the excellent QB on the other team. Kiffin now moves to 1-9 in games versus top 10 opponents on the road.
