What do last week’s CFB results mean for Ohio State in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll?
It’s Sunday, and that means we are on poll watch for the Ohio State football team. It wasn’t the most emphatic result against Youngstown State, a Football Championship Subdivision opponent, but the Buckeyes more or less took care of business in a 35-7 win on Saturday.
Outside of Columbus, Ohio, though, other high profile games and results changed the landscape of the 2023 season. Texas beat Alabama, Miami (Florida) beat Texas A&M, Colorado made another statement and more.
In the Big Ten, Michigan and Penn State kept pace with the Buckeyes.
Here’s a look at the top 10 of the latest release of the US LBM Coaches Poll, including where Ohio State lands, with the complete rankings to follow.
