Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016 LSU Tigers football team represents Louisiana State University in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers play their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and compete in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They were led by 12th year head coach Les Miles for the first four games of the year before he was fired on September 25 along with offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.[1] Miles was replaced by interim head coach Ed Orgeron.

Schedule

LSU announced its 2016 football schedule on October 29, 2015. Because of scheduling issues, the 2016 schedule consisted of 7 home, 3 away and 1 neutral site games in the regular season. The Tigers were to host SEC foes Alabama, Mississippi State, Missouri, and Ole Miss, and will travel to Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, and Texas A&M.[2]

The Tigers competed against the Missouri Tigers for the first time since the 1978 Liberty Bowl which Missouri won 20–15. The team will travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin to compete against Wisconsin from the Big Ten Conference at Lambeau Field. LSU will then host the other three non–conference slate against Jacksonville State from the Ohio Valley Conference, South Alabama from the Sun Belt Conference and Southern Miss from Conference USA.
