After a scintillating Week 1, the latest iteration of the US LBM Coaches Poll was released on Tuesday afternoon.
The Oklahoma Sooners moved up two spots to No. 17 after their 73-0 win against Arkansas State.
Elsewhere, the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs maintained their hold on the top spot, receiving 63 first-place votes. They’re followed by Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan Wolverines, the Alabama Crimson Tide, Ohio State Buckeyes and the Florida State Seminoles.
This week’s action saw a shakeup with a pair of top-10 teams taking losses to open the season. LSU and Clemson each lost by three touchdowns. The LSU Tigers lost a top-10 matchup with Florida State. The Clemson Tigers were downed by the Duke Blue Devils.
Alabama avoided the lookahead trap and can focus on hosting a No. 10 Texas team that moved up from 12th, with LSU and Clemson falling out of the top 10.
USC Trojans came in at No. 6 followed by Penn State, Washington, and Tennessee.
The second-highest Big 12 team in the rankings is the Kansas State Wildcats, who are 15th. Mack Brown’s UNC Tarheels are 16th to Oklahoma’s 17th.
No other Big 12 school is featured in the rankings. TCU dropped out after losing to the Colorado Buffaloes in Fort Worth. The Texas Tech Red Raiders dropped out after a road loss to Wyoming.
It wasn’t a banner weekend for much of the Big 12.
The Iowa Hawkeyes were the leading vote-getter not in the top 25 after Week 1.
Here’s a look at the US LBM Coaches Poll.
