What do last week’s CFB results mean for Ohio State in the lastest US LBM Coaches Poll?

It’s Sunday, and that means we are on poll watch for the Ohio State football team. It wasn’t the most emphatic result against FCS opponent, Youngstown State, but the Buckeyes more or less took care of business in a 35-7 win on Saturday.

Outside of Columbus, Ohio though, there were other high profile games and results on the field that changed the landscape of the 2023 season. Texas beat Alabama, Miami (FL) beat Texas A&M, Colorado made another statement, and more.
