Big-time changes made in latest USA TODAY Sports coaches poll

A wild Week 3 slate of games lead to a shake-up in the Coaches Poll.

Alabama handled business in the Week 3 matchup against Louisiana Monroe at home, a contest won by the crimson Tide with a final score of 63-7. However, other top-25 ranked teams across the country did not fare as well.

With plenty of ranked matchups across the nation, movement in the top-25 was inevitable.

Whether it be a BYU-Oregon showdown in Eugene or Texas A&M-Miami in College Station, Week 3 was loaded with games that were bound to cause a shakeup in the rankings.

Plenty of changes all around in the latest poll, and there will be plenty more as the weeks go by and the field of contenders begins to level out.
