Week 10 in college football featured brief periods of drama across the country. When the dust settled, however, there was very little chaos, producing few substantive changes in the US LBM Coaches Poll with the top 10 teams all victorious.

Georgia retains the No. 1 spot, with the next four teams all staying put as well. The Bulldogs, who survived a strong challenge from Missouri, received 55 of 64 first-place votes. The panel was kind to Missouri though, as the Tigers fall just one place to No. 15. No. 2 Michigan picked up four firsts, one fewer than Ohio State, but the Wolverines remain ahead of the Buckeyes by 11 poll points. Florida State and Washington continue to round out the top five.

In the only change in the top 10, Oregon edges ahead of Texas for the No. 6 position. The Longhorns do remain ahead of No. 8 Alabama, followed again by Penn State and Mississippi.

The big moves begin at the next tier, as eight ranked teams in all from last week including everyone 11th through 14th lost. Louisville moves up those four positions to No. 11 to reach its highest ranking since Nov. 20, 2016, followed by No. 12 Tennessee. Oregon State makes the largest jump within the poll, climbing six places to No. 13.

Oklahoma State makes its season debut after taking down Bedlam rival Oklahoma. The Cowboys enter at No. 17, still a spot behind the Sooners. No. 24 Arizona also joins the poll for the first time this season after its third win in a row against ranked teams. Fresno State returns to the rankings at No. 25.

It was a bad week for Los Angeles schools as UCLA and Southern California fall from the top 25. The week’s other dropout is Air Force, which was stunned by academy rival Army for its first loss of the campaign.
