Latest US LBM Coaches Poll released after Week 3. Where is Ohio State?

Despite the Ohio State football team being on a bye this past week a lot of action and some change occurred in the US LBM Coaches Poll. The Buckeyes looked completely and utterly dominant against the Western Michigan Broncos last week as they cruised to a 56-0 blowout victory, but we have seen teams get punished for not playing in the past and that appears to be what has happened this week.

Despite Ohio State not taking the field and remaining undefeated, another highly-ranked team blew the doors of a lesser than opponent in the Texas Longhorns. One of the newest members of the SEC had another impressive outing against the UTSA Roadrunner, winning, 56-7 and the nation even got a look at Arch Manning. Apparently this was enough to jump the Buckeyes, but here’s a look at complete Coaches Poll:
