Ohio State Remains At No. 3 In USA Today Coaches Poll Following Win Over Rutgers
In this story:
Ohio State stood pat at No. 3 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll following a 49-10 win over Rutgers on Saturday afternoon.
Alabama reclaimed the top spot after a 49-26 victory at Arkansas, while Georgia slipped one spot following its 26-22 win at unranked Missouri. The Buckeyes gained on both the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs, though, as they received seven first-place votes, up from four last week.
The next four teams in the top 25 poll remain the same, with No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Clemson, No. 6 USC and No. 7 Oklahoma State all notching conference victories, while No. 8 Tennessee, No. 9 Ole Miss and No. 10 Penn State round out the top 10.
