A little more than six weeks after the first release, ESPN made some tweaks to the rankings, but the Tigers held steady at No. 4 with only Clemson, Alabama and Georgia ahead of Ed Orgeron’s squad.

LSU’s FPI improved slightly from 21.7 to 21.8 – just 0.4 behind Georgia, an increase of 0.2. The Tigers’ strength of schedule is still ranked 10th in America.

The FPI gives LSU a 1.6 percent chance of winning out, a small improvement from 1.5, and the chance of winning the SEC improved from 11.6 to 12.0 percent.
