A college football weekend that more than lived up to its billing produced a measure of clarity atop the US LBM Coaches Poll . There is unanimity of a sort, as every member of the panel has the same first two teams.
Texas remains No 1 following a dominant triumph against Red River rival Oklahoma . The Longhorns were voted first on 53 of the 55 ballots this week. The other two No. 1 nods unsurprisingly went to Oregon, which outlasted Ohio State in an instant classic in prime time. The Ducks move up a spot to No. 2 overall, and were voted second on all the other ballots.
Penn State vaults to No. 3 after its comeback win at Southern California . The Nittany Lions jump ahead of Georgia, which stays put at No. 4. Ohio State slips to No. 5. No. 6 Miami (Fla.) and No. 7 Alabama hold their positions from last week, with LSU, Clemson and Tennessee rounding out the top 10.
