Oregon Ducks move up slightly in US LBM Coaches Poll following Week 1 action

A blowout victory in Week 1 gave the Ducks enough juice to move up in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

With only one matchup between ranked teams in college football this week, and only a small handful of ranked teams losing, there was little movement in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 1.

For the Oregon Ducks, though, who got off to a blazing start and won 81-7 over the Portland State Vikings, that movement saw them jump up a bit in the standings, where they now rank as the No. 13 team in the nation.


Here are the full standings that came out on Tuesday morning:

While Oregon’s win was impressive from a scoring standpoint, the fact that it came against a porous FCS team leaves a lot still to be figured out about this team. Fortunately, we will likely get a good idea of how good this squad can be under Dan Lanning with a more competitive game this coming weekend against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Ducks will travel down to Lubbock and try to get a 2-0 start to the season, while Texas Tech does whatever it can to avoid an 0-2 start after falling to Wyoming in double-overtime to open the season.

Where Michigan football after Week 1 of college football in US LBM Coaches Poll

Here’s what the coaches think after Week 1.

College football is in full swing with every team having at least one game under its belt.

While many of the top teams rolled, there were some interesting upsets, including Duke over No. 9 Clemson, No. 8 Florida State over No. 5 LSU, and Colorado over No. 16 TCU.

No. 2 Michigan managed to take care of business, beating East Carolina, 30-3. Future opponent No. 7 Penn State also handled West Virginia, but No. 4 Ohio State sputtered offensively against Indiana.

The latest US LBM Coaches Poll is out and the Wolverines remained No. 2. Penn State is still No. 7, and Ohio State is No. 4.
