Ohio State makes move in latest US LBM Coaches poll after win over Notre Dame

Hopefully, you got a good night’s rest after another wild week of college football. If you are an Ohio State fan, there’s no doubt it was a late bedtime, but one you were happy to wait up for after a thrilling and dramatic last-second win on the road vs. Notre Dame.

Other teams made statements as well during Week 4, and the US LBM Coaches poll reflects some changes at the top after what we all saw over the weekend. The usual suspects like Georgia, Michigan, Texas, and Florida State are still high atop the rankings, but what about the rest of the poll?
