Rankings from AP Poll

The 2007 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It won the Southeastern Conference (SEC) championship and the national championship–their third claimed national championship and fourth recognized by the NCAA and the college football community.[1] It was the team’s second national championship in five years and first consensus national championship since 1958.

The team's head coach was Les Miles, who entered his third year at the helm. They were led on the field by senior quarterback Matt Flynn, running back Jacob Hester, and senior defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, a two-time All-American and winner of multiple national trophies and awards. They played their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The team overcame two triple-overtime losses and four other close games to become the first, and only, two-loss national champion in the BCS/CFP era. On their way to the BCS national championship, the Tigers won their tenth SEC championship by defeating Tennessee in the SEC Championship Game.

The Tigers finished the season having earned the Southeastern Conference championship trophy, the Grantland Rice Award, the MacArthur Trophy,[2] the Associated Press Trophy and the AFCA National Championship Trophy.
