This was the only season between 1958 and 1965 that LSU did not play in a bowl game.

The game vs. Ole Miss was the Tigers' last visit to Oxford, Mississippi until 1989. The 6-6 tie denied the Rebels the consensus national championship, which instead went to Minnesota despite the Gophers' loss to Purdue. Ole Miss was named national champion by the Football Writers Association of America following their win vs. Rice in the Sugar Bowl.
