An exciting weekend of action in college football sent shockwaves through the US LBM Coaches Poll.
Texas replaces Georgia at No. 1, narrowly holding off Alabama. The Longhorns received 29 of 55 first-place votes and finish just nine poll points ahead of the Crimson Tide. It is the first No. 1 appearance for Texas in the coaches poll since Oct. 26, 2008.
Alabama was voted first on 19 ballots after its thrilling win against Georgia. The remaining seven top votes went to Ohio State, which holds at No. 3 overall after winning its Big Ten opener at Michigan State. Tennessee moves up to No. 4 after having the week off as Georgia slips to fifth.
Two other top-10 teams went down to defeat over the weekend, both at home. Mississippi slides six places to No. 11 after a home loss to Kentucky, and Utah tumbles eight spots to No. 18 following its defeat to Arizona.

Those results left room for advancement in the lower half of the top 10. No. 6 Oregon, No. 7 Penn State and No 8 Miami (Fla.) each move up a notch. Missouri jumps to No. 9, and Michigan returns to the top 10.
The lone newcomer to the Top 25 this week is Indiana, off to an impressive 5-0 start. It is the first poll appearance for the Hoosiers since the preseason rankings in 2021. Illinois hangs on at No. 25 after its loss at Penn State, finishing 19 points ahead of Boise State.
Oklahoma State is the week’s only dropout.
