The voters punish Ohio State with a drop to No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA football coaches poll. Michigan, TCU and Southern California benefit from Buckeyes' misfortune and overall three new teams join the top 10 after upset-filled weekend.
Rivalry Week in college football produced its share of chaos with four teams in the top 10 falling and numerous other upsets shaking up the Top 25 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. But when the dust settled, a fairly clear top four has emerged heading into conference championship week.
Georgia handled its business against Georgia Tech and easily retains the No. 1 spot this week, claiming 60 of 63 first-place votes. Michigan moves up to No. 2 after its impressive takedown of Ohio State. The Wolverines have a strong case for No. 1 and were in fact voted first on three ballots. No. 3 TCU also moves up a spot after completing an undefeated regular season, and No. 4 Southern California impressed again in the prime-time spotlight against Notre Dame. Ohio State slips to No. 5, followed by Alabama. No. 7 Penn State, No. 8 Tennessee, No. 9 Washington and No. 10 Kansas State all move up three spots replacing the weekend’s highest-profile upset victims.
