Week 9 in college football featured plenty of drama but few actual upsets. As such, most of the upper tier of the US LBM Coaches Poll remains unchanged.
The top 10, in fact, has the exact same order as last week. Ohio State, which had the weekend off, stays on top with 62 of 64 first-place votes cast this week. Indiana holds at No. 2 after rolling past UCLA, though the Hoosiers did not get either of the remaining two first-place nods. Those both went to Texas A&M, which stays at No. 3 overall following its second-half dominance at LSU.

Alabama had a narrow escape at South Carolina but stays at No. 4, while idle Georgia continues to round out the top five. Oregon, Georgia Tech, Mississippi, Miami (Fla.) and Brigham Young again comprise the second half of the top 10.
