It’s Sunday after a college football Saturday, and that means it’s time for the latest news. Survey of LBM coaches in the United States drop. Week 12 saw some upsets, but things went more or less as most people expected, and with that, there aren’t many changes at the top aside from what resulted from Oklahoma beat Texas.
For Ohio Stateit has been hanging around in first place since defeat Texas in the first week, and has done nothing but dominate all his opponents since then. Week 12 saw this same narrative unfold with a Victory 48-10 on UCLA to keep all his goals on the table. Even more, with the act of escape Texas A&M had to succeed against South Carolina, the Buckeyes garnered more votes for first place. In fact, the Buckeyes have all but two of the first-place votes, with the other two coming from those same Aggies.

So what happened after the Earlier beat the tide? The top ten behind OSU is Indiana (2), Texas A&M (3), Georgia (4), Oregon (5), Ole Mademoiselle (6), Texas Tech (7), Oklahoma (8), Notre Dame (9), and Alabama (10). If we place him in the top 12, the next two in line are BYU and Georgia Tech.
There are still a few weeks left in the regular season and then the conference championship games, so you can bet these rankings will change significantly again. Now, we’ll be watching to see how well these rankings reflect the latest College Football Playoff rankings that will be released on Tuesday.
