Half of LSU football's 2025 schedule was ranked in the first US LBM Coaches Poll. Here's a quick look at LSU's toughest matchups.

Thus, Michigan came in ranked No. 14 in the eyes of the coaches, indicating there's some strong rebound potential after last season's 8-5 record. The only other ranked opponent on the schedule is No. 2 Ohio State -- a team that lost four straight to the Wolverines and also has to play No. 1 Texas, No. 3 Penn State, and No. 12 Illinois.
