Ohio State loses all first-place votes in latest USA TODAY Coaches Poll

The latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll is out and YOUR Ohio State Buckeyes lost all of the first-place votes they had picked up, but still remained at No. 2, just behind Georgia who made a statement at home vs. Tennessee. Michigan moves into the No. 3 spot and is closing the gap with OSU, picking up two first-place votes of its own.

Aside from that though, there are wholesale changes because three of the top six teams being upset this weekend. Not only did the Vols lose to the Bulldogs, but Clemson was on the receiving end of a super wedgie administered by Notre Dame, and Alabama lost another close one, this time to LSU in Baton Rouge.
