The latest US LBM Coaches poll is out after Week 10, and Ohio State remains firmly in the top spot. The Buckeyes have been the No. 1-ranked team since the win over Texas in Week 1, and they have done nothing to relinquish the top spot despite a push from No. 2 Indiana, as it too continues to dominate every week.
But the entire top ten of the poll was not so lucky. There were more upsets this week, and it did result in some shuffling just ahead of the first College Football Playoff rankings set to be unveiled on Tuesday. Behind the Buckeyes and Hooisers and rounding out the top ten are Texas A&M (3), Alabama (4), Georgia (5), Oregon (6), Ole Miss (7), BYU (8), Texas Tech (9), and Notre Dame (10).

After dominating the second half in a blowout 38-14 win over Penn State Saturday, Ohio State collected 60 of the 64 first-place votes. Indiana received one, and Texas A&M was voted No. 1 by three coaches.
As far as Big Ten teams go, joining the Buckeyes, Hoosiers, and Ducks in the top 25 are Michigan (20), USC (21), and Iowa (24) — making it six conference teams ranked. Washington just missed as the team receiving the most votes outside of the top 25.
Ohio State will next travel to West Lafayette to play Purdue on Saturday as it looks to continue its journey of what it hopes is another special season.
Here’s the complete poll:
