Oklahoma stays unranked after bye week in Amway Coaches Poll

Oklahoma did not jump back into the Top 25 in the Amway Coaches Poll after having the week off.

Oklahoma is a team that is not used to being without a ranking in front of their name, but that’s how it will stay for at least one more week in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports.

The Sooners are the fifth team out in the “others receiving votes” group behind Auburn, Army, West Virginia, and Kentucky.

Clemson stays at No. 1 after their pulverizing win over Georgia Tech.

The top five is rounded out by Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgia, and Ohio State.

Other Big 12 teams in the rankings include Oklahoma State at No. 6, Iowa State at No. 18, and Kansas State at No. 19.

TCU, Oklahoma’s opponent next week, also received some votes but still has a lot of teams to climb over as they are the 15th team out.

Notre Dame keeps climbing in latest Coaches Poll

Even with an uninspiring victory over Louisville, Notre Dame moves up in the latest Amway Coaches Poll.

Yesterday’s win over Louisville certainly left a bitter taste is all of our mouths and the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports showed it didn’t matter much at all. Notre Dame began the week as the No. 4 ranked team and moved up one spot as No. 2 Alabama beat No. 3 Georgia, swapping spots with the losing Bulldogs.

A win is a win, the best part of going 4-0 is the opportunity to go 5-0, but Brian Kelly’s squad has a lot of issues to work out. Most of them fall on the offensive side of the ball, as the passing game has regressed so far this year. Regardless, the Irish are benefactors of the huge SEC contest Saturday night.

Around the ACC, Clemson’s hold on the number one spot got stronger, as Trevor Lawrence and company blitzed Georgia Tech 52-7 by halftime and cruised to a 73-7 victory. North Carolina head coach Mack Brown has a history of dropping games he shouldn’t and that reared it’s ugly head once again as the No. 5 Tar Heels lost to Florida State, 31-28 in Tallahassee. Miami, FL, ranked No. 13, had a sluggish start, the Clemson hangover, but ultimately staved off upset minded Pittsburgh 31-19. The other ranked ACC team was No. 24 Virginia Tech, who cruised to a 40-14 victory over Boston College.

Aside from North Carolina falling from the unbeatens, the shocker in the ACC was Syracuse. They hosted Liberty, and got waxed at home 38-21. Yes, the Flames are 5-0 now, but they have no business going into the Carrier Dome and putting a hurt down on Dino Baber’s squad.

Here is the full Coaches Poll, with the ACC teams in bold and last weeks ranking in parenthesis.

UF took a heartbreaking loss in East Texas on Saturday, resulting in a drop in the polls while the soccer team also lost to A&M on the road.

It is the beginning of another week with the hangover from the Gators’ upset loss on Saturday to the Texas A&M Aggies fading into the background.

Now that the disappointing defeat is old news, it is time to look forward to next weekend’s match back in The Swamp with the now-unranked LSU Tigers. In the meantime, let us take a gander at some stories from around college football as well as campus.

At the top of the news today, USA TODAY Sports’ Eddie Timanus takes a look at the latest Amway Coaches Poll results. Florida slipped to No. 9 while the Aggies vaulted nine positions to No. 11, a couple of notches higher than they were rated before losing to Alabama.

In other Gators athletics, the soccer team also traveled to College Station this weekend and came away with similar results after dropping their Sunday match to the No. 11 Aggies, 2-1, for the first loss of the 2020 season. Florida takes the pitch again on Oct. 18 back at the home confines of Donald R. Dizney Stadium starting at 6 p.m. ET.

Here are the stories from the past weekend.

It’s great to be a Florida Gator!

Here is where Wisconsin stands in the latest Amway Poll

The latest coaches poll has Wisconsin in the middle of the pack

After another college football Saturday filled with surprising results, the new Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports is out. With an upset loss at Texas A&M, Florida were the big losers of the week falling from No. 3 down to No. 9. As a result of their upset win, Texas A&M climbed nine spots all the way up to No. 11 overall.

Ohio State led the way for the Big Ten at No. 5 just two weeks before the conference is set to begin their 2020 season. Wisconsin was the third Big Ten team listed, after Ohio State and Penn State (No. 8 overall), and the top Big Ten West squad at No. 15 overall.

Here is a look at the complete poll just two weeks away from the start of Big Ten football.

Despite another week of watching from the sidelines, there was more movement in the latest Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports for a handful of Big Ten teams, including a new team appearing in this week’s poll.

Minnesota returned to the Amway Coaches Poll in the Week 6 edition, moving from unranked to No. 25 in this week’s rankings. The Gophers are one of five Big Ten squads to appear in the latest poll, joining Ohio State (No. 5), Penn State (No. 8), Wisconsin (No. 15) and Michigan (No. 19).

There wasn’t much activity for the Big Ten outside of the Gophers joining the poll, with Ohio State moving up one spot and Wisconsin dropping a spot as the only other changes.

Michigan State was nowhere to be seen in the latest rankings, failing to receive a single vote in the coaches poll again this week.

Ohio State moves up a spot in Amway Coaches Poll

Ohio State football gained a spot in the latest release of the Amway Coaches Top 25 College Football Poll.

It’s that time of the week for the release of the latest Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, and still-idle Ohio State has moved up a spot to No. 5.

The modest jump is largely because of Florida’s loss to Texas A&M this past weekend. The Buckeyes had been No. 6 over the last couple of weeks since re-entering the poll after dropping out when the Big Ten decided to shelve the season because of concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.

The top ten teams this week consist of Clemson (1), Alabama (2), Georgia (3), Notre Dame (4), Ohio State (5), North Carolina (6), Oklahoma State (7), Penn State (8), Florida (9), and Cincinnati (1).

Ohio State still sits in prime position to impress voters once the season kicks off on October 24 vs. Nebraska.

Gators take tumble, remain in top 10 in latest Amway Coaches Poll

Florida drops to No. 9 in USA TODAY Sports’ latest rankings after a disappointing loss to the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 3 of SEC football.

After a heartbreaking loss on the road to the Texas A&M Aggies, the Florida Gators have fallen to No. 9 in the latest update to the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. It was also quite a tumultuous weekend for another Southeastern Conference team as well, with the LSU Tigers dropping out of the top-25 after a loss to the unranked Missouri Tigers on Saturday.

The Clemson Tigers held on to the top spot after a strong win over the previously seventh-ranked Miami Hurricanes, who dropped to No. 12 in this week’s poll. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs remained at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, while the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes shifting up a spot to round out the top-5.

Florida is the only other Southeastern Conference in the top-10, though the Texas A&M Aggies jumped to No. 11 and threaten to enter the upper echelon of the rankings after their big home win on Saturday. The Auburn Tigers come in at No. 14 after their narrow home victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Tennessee Volunteers at No. 17 after their road loss to Georgia, capping off the five SEC teams in the top-25.
