There's more good news for LSU fans! A just released article in The Sporting News ranks the Top 10 college football programs in the USA and, not only is the SEC the nation's best conference, but the Bayou Bengals come in at the No. 4 spot overall.

And for the most hardcore Tigers fans here's the cherry on the sundae: In ranking the top football programs in America, LSU places ahead of arch-rival Alabama!

Regarding LSU, The Sporting News writes:

“No other program in college football has been depleted by early entries to the NFL and still continued to play at such a high level. That’s a credit to not only Coach Les Miles and his staff, but to the program’s ability to attract players with the foundation in place. There’s no better stadium in college football, and the state of Louisiana is wildly underrated for high school talent.”

Here's The Sporting News top ten:

1) Ohio State

2) Texas

3) USC

4) LSU

5 )Florida

6) Michigan

7) Alabama
