Big movement in latest Coaches Poll, but Alabama remains on top
The latest edition of the Coaches Poll came out on Sunday morning, and the Alabama Crimson Tide remains in the top spot. After a 48-14 victory over Mercer to move to 2-0 on the season, that news shouldn’t be a surprise.
There was other movement, however.
After beating Ohio State 35-28 on Saturday, the Oregon Ducks have jumped seven spots to No. 4 overall. That means that they moved ahead of Texas A&M, who barely hung on to beat Colorado 10-7.
Arkansas jumped 20 spots to No. 24 after a huge upset over Texas, and Auburn found itself in the top-25 (No. 20) after starting its season with two sizable victories over inferior opponents.
