Oregon remains No. 1 in US LBM coaches poll, while Notre Dame joins college football's top 10

Week 9 in college football featured plenty of intrigue but few actual upsets. As a result, there aren’t many changes near the upper echelon of the US LBM Coaches Poll, with the top six teams remaining the same.

Oregon continues to hold the No. 1 ranking. The Ducks claimed all but one of 54 first-place votes cast this week after a convincing win against Illinois. Georgia, which had the week off, stays at No. 2 receiving the remaining first-place nod. Penn State and Ohio State, set to square off next week, hold down the next two spots. No. 5 Miami (Fla.) and No. 6 Texas also maintain their positions after victories.

The changes begin at No. 7, where LSU was the highest-ranked team to take a defeat. The Tigers tumble to No. 16 after their loss to Texas A&M, which is up to No. 11 this week. Tennessee and Clemson each improve on spot to No. 7 and 8, respectively. Notre Dame, thanks to a convincing triumph against then-No. 24 Navy, vaults to No. 9 ahead of No. 10 Iowa State.
