Coaches Poll Top 25 College Football Rankings released after Conference Championship Weekend

The latest Top 25 Coaches Poll is out for college football, with this one coming following Conference Championship Weekend. With that, only a handful of the teams that had been ranked in last week’s poll were back in action, though those games had much more impact.

The majority of the focus around Power Four teams during Conference Championship week has been as these games related to the College Football Playoff. In particular, what teams were able to win and effectively clinched a spot in the Playoff. Meanwhile, others found themselves concerned about seeding and the bubble. Still, there was also room for movement within the Coaches Poll.

It ended up being an exciting week too. On Friday night, the Boise State Broncos dominated in the Mountain West Championship. Then, the Georgia Bulldogs beat the Texas Longhorns in overtime. Meanwhile, the Oregon Ducks survived a battle with the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Clemson Tigers avoided the comeback minded SMU Mustangs. Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, was the Arizona State Sun Devils dominating the Iowa State Cyclones in the Big 12. With all of that in mind, here is a look at what the latest Coaches Poll Top 25 stacks up:
