The USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll has been released following Week 12 of the college football season.
Survive and advance was the theme of Week 12. Georgia’s 16-6 win over Kentucky was not pretty, but the 11-0 Bulldogs remain No. 1 in the Coaches Poll for the sixth consecutive week.
Ohio State, Michigan, TCU and USC survived in very close games. Tennessee lost, 63-38, to South Carolina. That took the Vols from No. 5 to No. 11. And the night ended with a great game between Oregon and Utah, which the Ducks won, 20-17.
Other fun ones included: UNC losing to Georgia Tech, Ole Miss losing to Arkansas, UCF losing to Navy, Oklahoma State losing to Oklahoma and NC State losing to Louisville.

25. UTSA
24. Texas
23. Coastal Carolina
