Week 9 is in the books and the latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll has been released. There isn’t a whole lot of movement up in the top ten, and in fact, the top eight teams remained in the same spot after a week that saw a lack of major upsets.
We like to check in every week to see where the poll has Ohio State and we can report to you that the Buckeyes remained in the No. 2 slot after the win over Penn State — behind Georgia and just ahead of a surging Tennessee team. However, OSU did lose some first-place votes as some are getting on board with what’s happening in Knoxville.
Here is a look at all of the teams in the top 25, with the complete top ten below that. The Buckeyes next travel to Northwestern for an away contest while the big one in the country will be the Volunteers vs. the Bulldogs in Athens Saturday.
11. UCLA
12. Utah
13. Illinois
14. Kansas State
15. UNC
16. Penn State
17. LSU
18. Oklahoma State
19. Wake Forest
20. NC State
21. Tulane
22. Syracuse
23. Liberty
24 Kentucky
25. UCF
