Amway Coaches Poll: Texas remains unranked
Texas remains unranked after losing on the road to Baylor. Oklahoma and Baylor are the other Big 12 teams ranked and are inside the top 10.
Texas remains unranked in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports after a disappointing loss to Baylor on Saturday. The 24-10 loss was the Longhorns’ second loss in a row and moved Texas to 2-4 in their last six games.
The top five remain the same, but Utah takes over at No. 6 as No. 13 Oregon suffered a loss on the road to Arizona State. The Utes are the PAC 12’s remaining hope for the College Football Playoff.
Fellow Big 12 members Oklahoma stay at No. 7, Baylor moves up three spots to No. 10, and Oklahoma State moves up two spots to No. 21.

Oklahoma moves to No. 7 in Amway Coaches Poll
The Sooners narrowly escaped their final home game of the season versus TCU, escaping with a 28-24 victory over the Horned Frogs,
The Sooners narrowly escaped their final home game of the season versus TCU, escaping with a 28-24 victory over the Horned Frogs, moving to No.7 in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. With the win, the Sooners clinched their spot in the Big 12 Championship versus Baylor.
Oklahoma overcame two costly Jalen Hurts penalties to beat the Horned Frogs, as the defense stepped up in a big way down the stretch, getting multiple steps and finishing the game off with an interception.
Other than their win, several other pieces fell into place for a possible Sooners path to the College Football Playoffs.
Two top-10 teams in Oregon and Penn State fell on Saturday, paving an easier way for the Sooners. Oregon was ranked No. 6, but after a loss to unranked Arizona State, they fell to No. 13. The Nittany Lions were No. 9, and lost a close bout with Ohio State for their second loss of the season, moving them to 12.
Next week, the Sooners take on No. 21 Oklahoma State in their final regular season game of the year.
The Big 12 championship between Baylor and Oklahoma will be held on December 7.

Wisconsin remains at No. 14 in latest Amway Coaches’ Poll
Badgers stay in same spot in the most recent poll, powered by USA Today Sports
Following an up and down home victory against the Purdue Boilermakers, the Wisconsin Badgers remain stagnant at No. 14 in the latest Amway Coaches’ Poll, powered by USA Today Sports.
Overall, the Badgers (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) did what they had to do, winning and keeping pace with two Big Ten losses to give themselves a major opportunity. Up next, Wisconsin has their biggest opportunity set up this season, to travel to Minnesota to face the Gophers for a berth in the Big Ten Championship Game.
Minnesota (10-1, 7-1), who suffered their first loss of the season a week ago, moved up two spots to No. 9 after knocking off the Northwestern Wildcats on the road. The Badgers travel to play the Golden Gophers Nov. 30 in their final game of the regular season, with some major implications in the Big Ten West race, and of course to play for Paul Bunyan’s Axe.
Wisconsin is one of an impressive six Big Ten teams in the Amway Coaches’ poll. The Big Ten conference has proven yet again to be one of the toughest football conferences in the country, with five teams in the top 15 alone, and all six of the Big Ten teams just inside the top 20 of the poll.
Top five teams hold steady in Amway Coaches Poll
Not much change at the top of the polls this week.
College football’s penultimate week offered little drama at the top of the polls.
Of the top five teams Ohio State and Georgia were the only ones to have some drama, with the Buckeyes beating former No. 9 Penn State by 11 and Georgia squeezing by then-No. 24 Texas A&M. As is tradition in the SEC, many top teams took the week off with FCS opponents and Clemson had a bye.
Oregon was the big dropper this week, falling from No. 6 to No. 13 after a loss at unranked Arizona State.
In the Big Ten, Ohio State is trailed by No. 9 Minnesota, No. 11 Michigan, No. 12 Penn State, No. 14 Wisconsin and No. 20 Iowa.

Latest Amway Coaches Poll: Does Notre Dame Move Up?

After a 40-7 drubbing of Boston College on Senior Day, Notre Dame moved to 9-2 on the season with only Stanford remaining next weekend.
With only Oregon and Penn State losing ahead of the Irish, was it enough to move them up from the No. 15 spot they sat in last week? The latest Amway Coaches Poll Powered by USA Today is out and your answer is unfortunately, no.
Latest Amway Coaches Poll:
- LSU
- Ohio State
- Clemson
- Georgia
- Alabama
- Utah
- Oklahoma
- Florida
- Minnesota
- Baylor
- Michigan
- Penn State
- Oregon
- Wisconsin
- Notre Dame
- Auburn
- Cincinnati
- Memphis
- Boise State
- Iowa
- Oklahoma State
- Appalachian State
- Virginia Tech
- Navy
- Southern California
What might be the biggest takeaways here for Notre Dame isn’t that they didn’t move from 15, but that Virginia Tech, Navy and Southern California all are now ranked.
If that holds true with the College Football Playoff Committee who releases their rankings Tuesday night, Notre Dame having three wins over top 25 teams may be enough on the resume to lift them from their No. 16 ranking.
Alabama sticks at No. 5 in latest Amway Coaches Poll
The latest edition of the Amway Coaches Poll is now out, and the Alabama Crimson Tide still sits at No. 5.
Alabama rolled on Saturday against Western Carolina when the Crimson Tide walked away with a 66-3 victory over the Catamounts.
While the opponent won’t do much to impress the College Football Playoff committee, it might not have hurt anything — at least for the time being. The latest Amway Coaches Poll was released on Sunday, and Alabama remained in the Top 5.
Here are some of the other major takeaways from the latest rankings:
- Oregon fell from No. 6 to No. 13 after losing to a 5-5 Arizona State team
- Penn State dropped three spots from No. 9 to No. 12 following a 11-point loss to No. 2 Ohio State
- Baylor found its way back in the top 10 after the a big 24-10 win over Texas
- Virginia Tech (No. 23), Navy (No. 24) and USC (No. 25) all made their way into the top 25, with USC making the biggest jump moving up 9 spots
Here is how the entire top 25 shook out:
1. LSU (11-0)
2. Ohio State (11-0)
3 Clemson (11-0)
4. Georgia (10-1)
5. Alabama (10-1)
6. Utah (10-1)
7. Oklahoma (10-1)
8. Florida (9-2)
9. Minnesota (10-1)
10. Baylor (10-1)
11. Michigan (9-2)
12. Penn State (9-2)
13. Oregon (9-2)

18. Memphis (10-1)
19. Boise State (10-1)
20. Iowa (8-3)
21. Oklahoma State (8-3)
22. Appalachian State (10-1)
23. Virginia Tech (8-3)
24. Navy (8-2)
25. USC (8-4)
Alabama will take on No. 16 Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium to wrap up the regular season. That game should go a long way in determining the Crimson Tide’s chances of making it to the College Football Playoff.

Michigan State Men’s Basketball had a big win in the last week over #12 Seton Hall, but it wasn’t enough to move them past number three in the latest Amway Coaches Poll. Duke and Louisville also passed MSU while Kentucky fell all the way down to #10 after their loss to Evansville, despite beating the Spartans on opening night.
