The Big Ten again dominates the top of the US LBM Coaches Poll — but who’s at the top of the rankings?
Oregon upset Ohio State this week and made a push to take over the top spot in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, but fell just short of No. 1. Texas remains as the top team in the poll, with Oregon coming in at No. 2 and Penn State at No. 3. Ohio State dropped to No. 5 after the loss.
Four other Big Ten teams were included in this week’s poll: Indiana (No. 18), Illinois (No. 21), Michigan (No. 22) and Nebraska (No. 25). To no surprise, Michigan State received no votes in this week’s poll.
With all the excitement in Week 7, here is the latest US LBM Top 25 Coaches Poll:
