Latest USA TODAY Coaches poll is out. Is Michigan or Ohio State ranked higher?

The latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll has been released and Ohio State continues to hang out in the No. 2 spot where it has been for several weeks now. Just ahead of the Buckeyes is Georgia at No.1, and just behind Ohio State is Michigan at No. 3.

That means — at least from a Coaches poll standpoint — that Saturday’s game between the old rivals will be a top three matchup. It’s expected to be that case in the other polls as well.

With some upsets over the past week, the rest of the poll once again saw some changes, with the top ten also seeing a shuffle, largely because of the unexpected loss of what was No. 5 Tennessee over the weekend.

Before we dive into the top ten of the Coaches Poll let’s first look at the rest of the teams in the top 25.
