It’s that time of the week again when the major polls update their rankings. And while we wait on what the College Football Playoff rankings will be on Tuesday, every Sunday we get an update from the US LBM Coaches poll.
Ohio State didn’t go to Piscataway and perform a surgical strike on the college football world, but it did win by pulling away in the second half to keep its record unblemished and stay on track for some pretty special things. The coaches have ranked the Buckeyes highly all season, but the lack of otherworldly offensive production like we’ve seen in years past haven’t exactly impressed them all.
So what about this week? Did Ohio State move up any? The usual suspects are all there: Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Penn State, Florida State and more. But what order do they fall in after some pretty close games and Oklahoma once again falling victim to an upset?
Here’s a look at the updated US LBM Coaches poll after Week 10 action. We count down the top 10 teams then share the complete poll.
