College football rankings top 10 has new look in latest US LBM Coaches Poll Top 25

One major change in the US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 5 of the college football season sees one SEC team joining the top 10 and another falling out.

The first weekend of October in college football brought about minor changes to the US LBM Coaches Poll rankings. The top-10 landscape remained largely unchanged, with just one team experiencing a loss during the weekend. Texas, currently ranked No. 1, received the most first-place votes (45 out of 74) prior to their Red River showdown against Oklahoma.

Georgia maintained their second-place position after a decisive victory over Vanderbilt, accumulating 20 first-place votes this week. Notre Dame held steady at No. 3 with only one first-place vote. Miami (Fla.) stayed at No. 4 after a convincing win against Clemson. Indiana secured the final eight first-place votes, while Ohio State retained its position as the only team that had previously been defeated.

Florida, which held the No. 8 spot last week, has moved up to the No. 8 ranking, joining Texas Tech in the top 10. LSU has returned to the top 10, dropping 7 places to No. 15 following their first loss of the season against Missouri, which also granted them a 9-position rise in the rankings, placing them at No. 16. Iowa and Mississippi State, both defeated by other ranked teams, fell 4 and 4 positions respectively, now sitting at No. 18 and No. 20.

Pittsburgh and Kentucky have entered the rankings, replacing Michigan and Penn State who have left the poll.
