2012 NCAA Football Rankings: LSU up to No. 5 in BlogPoll

The LSU Tigers are up to No. 5 with runaway No. 1 Alabama on deck this weekend.

Brett Davis-US PRESSWIRE

LSU is the top 1-loss team once again in the SB Nation BlogPoll, coming in this week at No. 5. Fellow 1-loss SEC teams Georgia and Florida follow wat Nos. 6 and 7 following the Bulldogs' win over the Gators, giving the SEC four teams in the BlogPoll's Top 10 along with runaway No. 1 Alabama.

LSU can unseat the top team and reinsert themselves in the national title picture this weekend when the Tigers take on the Tide.

Texas A&M moved up five spots to No. 16, Texas Tech fell to No. 19 and the Texas Longhorns failed to crack the Top 25 following an uninspiring win over Kansas.

With Florida's loss, Kansas State moved into the No. 2 spot ahead of fellow unbeatens No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 Notre Dame. After the SEC trio from 5-7, Ohio State, Florida State and Clemson round out the Top 10.
