This was to be expected.
The Oregon Ducks football team dropped to No. 24 in the USA TODAY coaches poll after its 49-3 loss to Georgia in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game Saturday afternoon.
Georgia jumped Ohio State for that No. 2 spot after beating up Oregon. Alabama stayed at No. 1 with its win over Utah State and despite defeating No. 5 Notre Dame, Ohio State dropped a spot to No. 3. Notre Dame fell four spots to No. 9.
As a whole, the Pac-12 didn’t have the greatest of weeks where the coaches poll is concerned. USC is the only team that made a jump as the Trojans moved from 15 to No. 12.
Utah also was dinged with its loss to a previously unranked Florida team. The Utes dropped eight places to No. 15, while the Gators enter the poll for the first time this season at No. 19.
