Another week of the college football season has flown by and with it plenty of action to reflect upon. There’s a pretty significant body of work to judge teams on at this point, and that includes YOUR Ohio State Buckeyes who look to be playing their best ball at the right time.
Every Sunday, the US LBM Coaches Poll is released based on how the coaches that vote judge teams to have performed that week and throughout the college football season, and we just had the latest drop.
Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Washington, Oregon, Texas and Alabama are among the highest ranked — as you would expect — but how did it all shake out with just one week to go in the regular season?
Here’s a look at the new US LBM Coaches Poll with a look at the top 10 first, followed by the complete and updated poll after Week 12.
Oh, and for Ohio State fans, bring on Michigan week!
