No. 1 Louisiana State took control of the SEC West race when it defeated No. 2 Alabama 46-41 last week.

By emphatically ending an eight-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide, the Tigers moved past Ohio State and into the top spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. They are so lofty right now that they might be able to suffer a loss and still make the CFP semifinals.

But LSU (9-0, 5-0) isn’t going to take a victory lap just yet. The next step is a road game against Ole Miss (4-6, 2-4) on Saturday night in Oxford.
