The 2000 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University in the college football season of 2000–2001. Coached by Nick Saban in his first year at LSU, the Tigers played their home games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Saban led the team to a remarkable turnaround from a dismal 3–8 record in 1999 to an 8–4 record and a victory in the Peach Bowl. This was a sign of good things to come for LSU, who won the SEC title the next season.
