The LSU Tigers college football team compete as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision, representing Louisiana State University (LSU) in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). LSU has played their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana since 1924, with a current capacity of 102,321.

The Tigers claim four national championships and have been selected as national champions by NCAA recognized pollsters on three additional occasions, though the program does not claim these titles. In addition to this the program has 16 conference championships and six undefeated seasons. In their history the Tigers have won 842 games and possess a .654 winning percentage, ranking 13th and 14th among Division I FBS programs respectively. As of the end of the 2022 season, LSU has the 10th most appearances in the AP poll with 665, [1] with 36 No. 1 rankings, the 12th most of all time. [2]

Football was first introduced to the university in 1983 by chemistry professor Charles E. Coates, who coached the Tigers in their first ever game, a loss to Tulane University. [3]

Following a period of decline in the late 1980s and 1990s LSU hired Nick Saban who led the team to a national championship victory in 2003, the second in program history. Saban left the Tigers following the 2004 season to coach in the NFL and was replaced by Les Miles. Miles continued the Tigers success, appearing in two BCS National Championship Games, with a victory in 2007 and a loss to his predecessor Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2011. Miles was fired during the 2016 season in favor of Ed Orgeron who would lead the Tigers to their fourth national championship in 2019 behind the highest scoring offense in college football history.

Through the 2023 season, LSU has compiled an overall record of 842 wins, 434 losses and 53 ties. The Tigers have appeared in 54 bowl games, most recently in the 2023 Citrus Bowl, with 30 bowl victories in their history. https://collegefootballnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/LSU-Football-2023-Media-Guide.pdf (56)

Notes

  1. ^ a b Tulane having fielded an ineligible player in its victory over LSU. At the time that the game was declared forfeit, Tulane was leading with a score of 2–0. Due to the forfeiture, the official score was set at LSU 6, Tulane 0 by the game's referee. In addition to the forfeiture, Tulane was further sanctioned by the SIAA by being barred from fielding a team in intercollegiate play for the 1897 season.
  2. ^ a b The season's edition of the Battle for the Rag against LSU was originally a 22–0 victory for Tulane. The Tigers protested the game to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA), and alleged that Tulane had used a professional player during the game. Several months later, the SIAA ruled the game an 11–0 forfeit in favor of LSU.
  3. ^ Despite a single conference loss to Vanderbilt, the 1902 LSU team claimed an SIAA co-championship with undefeated Clemson.
  4. ^ a b c John W. Mayhew , a former halfback at Brown, took over as coach for former Vanderbilt lineman Joe Pritchard midway through the season and coached the final three games.
  5. ^ a b c MacDonnell coached the first five games of the season, Irving Pray coached games six and seven, and Dana X. Bible coached the final three games.
  6. ^ Florida was assessed a postseason ban following an NCAA investigation, and the SEC subsequently vacated any championship. The Sugar Bowl automatic bid for the conference champion was awarded to LSU. Under modern rules, LSU would be credited with the conference championship.
  7. ^ a b c Gerry DiNardo served as LSU's head coach for the first ten games of the 1999 season before he was fired. Hal Hunter was appointed interim head coach for the final game of the season. LSU finished the year with an overall record of 3–8 and a mark of 1–7 in conference play.
  8. ^ In 2002, Alabama finished first in Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with a conference record of 6–2, but was ineligible for the division title or postseason play as part of a penalty for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) violations. LSU, Arkansas, and Auburn tied for second place, each with a 5–3 mark in the conference, and were named co-champions. Arkansas was awarded a berth in the SEC Championship Game by virtue of their head-to-head wins over Auburn and LSU.
  9. ^ a b c d e f g h LSU vacated all 37 wins from the 2012-15 seasons due to NCAA punishment for an ineligible player.
  10. ^ a b c Miles was fired after the first four games of the 2016 season. Ed Orgeron served as interim head coach for the remainder of the regular season and was promoted to head coach on a permanent basis on November 26. LSU finished the year with an overall record of 8–4 and a mark of 5–3 in conference play.
  11. ^ a b They were led by sixth-year head coach Ed Orgeron, who left the program at the conclusion of the regular season. The Tigers ended their season by playing Kansas State in the Texas Bowl, where they were led by interim head coach Brad Davis.

The following is a list of golfers who have been top of the Official World Golf Ranking (titled as such since 1997) or its predecessor, the Sony Ranking, since the rankings started on April 6, 1986. The rankings are based on a player's position in individual tournaments (i.e. not pairs or team events) over a "rolling" two-year period with a maximum of 52 tournaments. New rankings are calculated each week. During 2018, nearly 400 tournaments on 20 tours were covered by the ranking system. All players competing in these tournaments are included in the rankings. In 2022, 23 tours factored into the world rankings. As of August 27, 2023, Scottie Scheffler is the number one ranked golfer.

A total of 25 different golfers from ten countries have been ranked world number one. Five countries; the United States, England, Australia, Spain and Germany have had multiple world number ones. The United States has had nine golfers ranked number one, the most of any country.

Tiger Woods has spent the most consecutive weeks (281) and most total weeks (683) at the top of the rankings, and Tom Lehman the fewest total weeks, having spent just a single week at the top in April 1997. [1] Three golfers have spent an entire calendar year atop the rankings: Nick Faldo (1993), Greg Norman (1996), and Woods (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009). Lee Westwood and Luke Donald are the only world number one golfers to have not won a major championship.

Year end world number ones

Earlier number ones

Before the start of the Official World Golf Ranking in 1986, unofficial end of year world golf rankings were published by Mark McCormack in his World of Professional Golf annual from 1968 to 1985. McCormack's rankings listed Jack Nicklaus as the number one from 1968 to 1977, Tom Watson from 1978 to 1982 and Seve Ballesteros from 1983 to 1985.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c d The rankings were frozen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rankings were produced on March 15, 2020 and restarted on June 14, 2020. No rankings were produced for the 12 weeks between these dates and so Rory McIlroy's total weeks at number one do not include these 12 weeks.
