Updated AP Top-25 Poll: LSU Football Plummets, Oregon Ducks Cruise in New Rankings

In this story:
Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers suffered the program's first loss of the 2025 season on Saturday after dropping a Top-15 SEC matchup to the Ole Miss Rebels.
On a night where the Bayou Bengals' offense once again struggled, Kelly and Co. fall to a Southeastern Conference foe on the road with headlines swirling.
“Disappointed in the loss, certainly,” Kelly said in on Saturday. “There is a game within the game. You start with the first half, where our inability to sustain anything on the offensive side of the ball put our defense on the field for 50 plays.
“At the end of the day, when you put it all together for four quarters, we didn’t play complementary football, which you have to do in this league. You have to be able to complement your offense and defense. When our offense started to move the ball, our defense couldn’t get the stop.”

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss torched the LSU Tigers from start to finish where he wrapped up the day with over 380 yards of total offense with timely conversions down the stretch.
Now, the latest AP Top-25 Poll has been revealed with the LSU Tigers plummeting after a Week 5 loss.
