Coaches poll gets shakeup in top 10 as Clemson, Iowa State tumble

One college football team in the top 10 was guaranteed to lose in Week 10 weekend. But two more went down to unexpected defeats, resulting in considerable shakeup in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Oregon easily retains the No. 1 spot after taking care of business at struggling Michigan. The Ducks once again received all but one of the 54 first-place votes, with the other top nod going to No. 2 Georgia. Ohio State moves back up to No. 3 after handing Penn State its first loss, knocking the Nittany Lions down four positions to No. 7. Miami (Fla.), Texas and Tennessee each move up a spot as a result.

Notre Dame climbs a notch to No. 8. No. 9 Brigham Young and No. 10 Indiana, both among the last of the unbeatens, round out the top 10, each achieving their highest ranking since the 2020 season.
