So far this season, we’ve been tracking each release of the US LBM Coaches Poll, and so far, the Ohio State football team has been hanging around the top of the poll as an undefeated team.
That’s sure to change, however, with the Buckeyes tight 30-24 loss at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. ‘The Game’ was there for the taking but there were simply too many mistakes, bad breaks, and lack of execution to get it done.
So how does that affect where OSU landed in this week’s Coaches Poll? You can bet that the usual suspects are up there like Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Oregon, Washington, Alabama, and Texas, with some even receiving a bump because of the demise of Ohio State.
Here is a look at where the Buckeyes fell to, and where other teams around them landed in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll with the regular season now complete and conference championship games next on tap.
We’ll start by counting down the top ten, then ending with the complete top 25.
