  "account": "The latest US LBM Coaches poll has been released, and Ohio State has seen a modest rise in the rankings. The Buckeyes are now positioned at No. 5, up one spot from their previous two weeks in which they were at No. 6. This climb came after a dominant performance against Maryland at home. The Georgia Bulldogs have leaped to the top spot after their win over Alabama, followed by Notre Dame, Miami (FL), and Indiana. The current top ten includes Texas, Alabama, BYU, Texas Tech, and Ole Miss. There are only two Big Ten teams in the top ten, and four teams from the SEC. Other Big Ten teams appearing in the poll are UCLA, USC, Iowa, and Oregon. The Buckeyes are now preparing for a significant matchup against the College Football Playoff defending national champions, with a win expected to boost their profile, ranking, and chances of making the postseason.",
