Oregon Ducks drop a spot in US LBM Coaches poll after bye

Oregon enjoyed a bye week and watched some others play around the country as they switched places with Tennessee in the US LBM coaches poll.

One had a bye and the other had an impressive road victory in the SEC.

After Tennessee’s 25-15 win at Oklahoma to move to 4-0, the Volunteers took over the No. 6 spot in the US LBM Coaches poll. The Ducks sit at No. 7 after a bye week and now they prepare to get back into action with a road game at UCLA.

It’s also Oregon’s first-ever Big Ten Conference tilt.

Michigan is making the biggest poll jump this week as the defending champions rebounded with a 27-24 win over USC. As for the Trojans, the disappointing loss in the Big House dropped them to No. 16, down four spots.

It was a fairly quiet day in the world of college football as there weren’t many upsets.

BYU did however upset the former No. 13 team Kansas State Wildcats, as the Cougars dumped the Cats 38-9. For their efforts, the Cougars moved into the poll for the first time this season and went to 4-0.
