Rankings from AP Poll

LSU suffered its worst loss in program history, 58–3 to Florida at home October 9. Following a loss at Kentucky, the Tigers went on a three-game winning streak, including a 17–13 win over defending national champion Alabama at Tuscaloosa, that ended the Crimson Tide's 31-game unbeaten streak (the NCAA later shortened the streak to 23 when it forced Alabama to forfeit all of its 1993 victories (and a tie vs. Tennessee) due to violations involving All-America defensive back Antonio Langham).

With a bowl berth on the line in the season finale, Arkansas came to Baton Rouge and gouged the Tigers for 412 yards rushing in a 42–24 triumph, leaving LSU with its fifth consecutive losing campaign.
