Where LSU football finished in ESPN's 2024 SP+ rankings
The 2024 college football season is over. Before we know, it will be time to preview 2025, but only after we spend some time looking back at the year that was. With the season a wrap, we have final power ratings, including Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings. Here's where LSU football finished: Overall: 15.9 (15th) Offense: 36.8 (11th) Defense: 21.7 (34th) Despite being No. 15 overall, LSU was just eighth in the SEC. The Tigers were one spot ahead of Iowa and just behind South Carolina. It may come as a surprise to some, but Ole Miss finished with the top rating in the SEC, coming in at No. 2 overall. SP+ is a predictive power rating — not a resume ranking. Of course, with the season over, the predictive element doesn't matter so much. At 15, LSU isn't far from where it finished last year. The defense took a step forward with Blake Baker taking over, but the offense regressed after losing Heisman quarterback Jayden Daniels.
