After an impressive 52-10 win over ULM, opposing coaches aren’t drinking the burnt orange kool aid. Texas fell four spots to No. 22 after starting ranked No. 18.
Perhaps not much changed for coaches this week, save for the Longhorns’ lone first-place voter. Alabama led the way with 57 first-place votes. Georgia (6) and Ohio State (2) earned the remaining No. 1 designations.
Voters appeared to like what Oklahoma and Texas A&M put on display this week. The Sooners rose two spots to No. 7, while the Aggies advanced one spot to No. 6.
For some reason, Ohio State fell from No. 2 to No. 3 despite a double-digit home win over No. 5 Notre Dame.
The reality is, the poll likely won’t matter much by season’s end. Albeit, it is interesting to see how others view college football contenders across the country.
At No. 17, Arkansas is perhaps the most underrated team, while Texas A&M is probably the most over-ranked following a 31-point performance against Sam Houston.
Here’s a look at where teams fall in this weeks Coaches Poll.
