Power ranking the SEC after week 12: #11 - LSU

The Bayou Bengals are in a really, really bad way right now. Ever since the second half started against Texas A&M football, LSU has looked like a completely different team from the one we saw most of the first part of the year.

They got outscored 31-6 in the second half against Texas A&M, outscored 42-13 at home by Alabama, and now 27-16 on the road against Florida. To put things mildly, that is not a winning recipe for the Tigers.

Brian Kelly and company need to be careful, as a loss to Vanderbilt would be the nadir for the Tigers—even if this is a Vandy team that beat Alabama. These final two opponents are ones that the Tigers, on paper, should defeat soundly at home, but I’m not feeling very confident at all in anything LSU is doing right now.
