Week 4 of the college football season is in the books and once again the US LBM Coaches Poll was dominated by teams from the SEC and the Big Ten.
Those two conferences represent 15 of the top 25 teams in the poll, including the top eight.
The Miami Hurricanes are the highest non SEC or Big Ten school, with Mario Cristobal’s program coming in at No. 9 just behind Penn State and ahead of the first Big 12 team on the list in Utah, who is No. 10.
After hanging 59 points on NC State Saturday, Dabo Swinney and the Clemson Tigers move up to No. 15 overall, two spots ahead of the third and final ranked ACC team, the Louisville Cardinals, who knocked off Georgia Tech on Saturday.
That’s it for the ACC heading into Week 5, although four other teams were in the receiving votes category including the Pitt Panthers, who are 4-0 after crushing Youngstown State by a score of 73-17.
Pitt received 50 votes, good for No. 28 overall, while Boston College (15) Duke (14) and SMU (4) all got some love from the coaches as well.
