The Ohio State football team was enjoying some rest and recouperation (sort of) during an off week this past weekend, but there was still plenty of action on the gridiron with the college game. Michigan and Penn State looked fantastic once again from the Big Ten, while Texas continues to look like the real deal.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Georgia showed some chinks in its armor but still pulled things out late on the road at Auburn, and there were plenty of other results that help to shape the national narrative of where teams should be ranked.
On that note, the latest US LBM Coaches poll has been released and as always, there has been some changes after seeing the results on the field this past weekend.
Here’s a look at the newest top ten of the poll followed by the complete top 25 after Week 5.
