The Tigers are one of 10 SEC teams ranked in the newest AP Poll, and the conference continues to show its dominance, taking three of the top five spots, with the only non-SEC teams in the top five being Notre Dame and Indiana.

LSU will look to regroup next week back at home, welcoming the No. 23 Texas A&M Aggies, who take a massive drop in the rankings. The Aggies fell 14 spots after being upset by the Kentucky Wildcats at home on Saturday.

Both the Tigers and the Aggies look to get back on track after taking falls in Week 3, and both squads will look to avoid 0-2 starts in the SEC.

LSU and Texas A&M are set for action on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 6:30 p.m., under the lights of Tiger Stadium.
