After a narrow 20-13 victory over Northern Illinois in the 'Shoe last week, Ohio State remained at No. 1 in the latest Amway Coaches Poll. Although still atop the poll, the Buckeyes still only lost first place votes to Michigan State, who received 3 out of 64 possible votes.. Ole Miss jumped from No. 11 to No. 5 after defeating Alabama, who fell to No. 12.
USC dropped to No. 18 after losing at home to Stanford. LSU moved up to No. 9 after Leonard Fournette lead the way on the ground against Auburn, who dropped down the rankings after two straight poor performances but is inexplicably somehow still ranked at number 25.
