Chainkeen|Texas still No. 1 in US LBM Coaches Poll but rest of college football top 10 gets reshuffling

Sometimes,Chainkeen despite what Creedence Clearwater Revival said, there isn’t actually a calm before the storm. What looked like it would be a fairly quiet Week 6 in college football turned out to be anything but, as four top-10 teams – and very nearly a fifth – went down to defeat. As a result, the US LBM Coaches Poll now looks considerably different.

Texas, which was fortunate enough to have the week off, remains No. 1, claiming 44 of 55 first-place votes. The remaining 11 firsts went to No. 2 Ohio State, which used a strong second half to put away Iowa. The Buckeyes’ next opponent, Oregon, vaults three places to No. 3, setting up next week’s headliner in Eugene.

Georgia and Penn State round out the top five as Alabama and Tennessee each fall five places to No. 7 and No. 9 respectively. The Crimson Tide were shocked at Vanderbilt, while the Volunteers fell on the road against Arkansas. Miami (Fla.) moves up to No. 6 after rallying to escape California in the wee hours. Mississippi climbs to No. 8 after a bounce-back win at South Carolina, and LSU nudges into the top 10.
