It was another wild week in college football, and with it, there’s been a bit of a shakeup in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll that was released. In the Big Ten, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State looked dominant once again, but elsewhere, we saw USC get bludgeoned at the hands of Notre Dame, and Washington outlasted Oregon in a game that had some very questionable coaching decisions on both sides.
Alabama escaped against Arkansas despite the national media not really recognizing it, and there were results a plenty across the rest of the country.
A quick look at the calendar tells us that the college football regular season is about halfway through, and that means there’s been some real separation, but there’s also still plenty of games to play.
Here’s how all of the results on the field impacted the release of the US LBM Coaches poll after Week 7 and whether we saw any movement from Ohio State after its impressive road victory over Purdue.
We’ll start with the new top ten and then share the complete poll for your reading pleasure.
