This week’s results in college football led to some expected changes in the top 10 of the new US LBM Coaches Poll. The first six teams, however, hold steady.
Georgia remains No. 1, picking up 50 of 54 first-place votes cast this week. Ohio State hangs on at No. 2 with three firsts, with third-ranked Texas retaining the last No. 1 nod. Alabama, Mississippi and Oregon stay put in the next three positions.
The changes begin at the No. 7 spot vacated by Notre Dame, which tumbles all the way to No. 19 after its loss to Northern Illinois. Michigan falls eight places to No. 17 following its decisive home loss to Texas.
