What an interesting week it was in college football. There were unexpected close games and upsets during a week that looked somewhat ho-hum. As recent history tells us though, sometimes the weeks that seem less-than-stellar on paper deliver the most upheaval.
It was especially chaotic in the Big Ten where teams like Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa were unassumingly knocked off. With all that happened over the last week, the voters in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches poll no doubt had their work cut out for them.
With all that went upside down, sideways, and off the rails last week, Ohio State still stayed in the same spot, at No.3. The Buckeyes are still behind No. 1 Alabama, and No. 2 Georgia. Don’t shoot the messenger.
The gap between Alabama and Georgia narrowed considerably, in terms of first place votes, but the Alabama holds onto the No. 1 spot but there were some major changes in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll this week.https://t.co/WhJ2bKSxDh pic.twitter.com/o7VW92a8mp
