Where did LSU land in the latest AP and College Football Polls? Here's the rundown after another week of CFB upsets.

A chaotic college football Saturday moved both LSU and Alabama up the AP and Coaches polls heading into their matchup next week.

The Tigers (6-2) moved up three spots in the Coaches Poll to No. 13 and two spots in the AP Poll to No. 14, while the Crimson Tide (6-2) moved up three spots to No. 11 in both polls.

The old SEC West rivals’ game at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Tiger Stadium, which will be featured by ESPN’s “College GameDay,” figures to be pivotal in the new 12-team College Football Playoff bracket.

Three of the teams immediately ahead of the Tigers and Crimson Tide on last week’s lists were among those to take the biggest tumbles following their losses to unranked opponents Saturday.

Clemson (6-2), Iowa State (7-1) and Texas A&M (7-2) fell to Louisville (6-3), Texas Tech (6-3) and South Carolina (5-3), respectively, Saturday and into the late teens of both polls Sunday.

Ole Miss (7-2) made the biggest leap, six spots, in the Coaches Poll, all the way to No. 12 — one spot ahead of LSU, which won head-to-head Oct. 12 in Baton Rouge — after routing Arkansas (5-4) this week, 63-31.

The Rebels moved up three spots in the AP Poll to No. 16, two spots behind the Tigers.

SMU (8-1) made a seven-spot jump to No. 13 in the AP Poll after winning a ranked matchup, 48-25, against Pittsburgh (7-1). The Mustangs are No. 15 in the latest Coaches Poll.
