USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll: There’s a new No. 1
After two incredible weeks of the college football season, Week 3 gave fans a bit of a breather. That’s not to say there was no excitement on Saturday — it’s college football … there’s always excitement.
The USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll has been released following Saturday’s action.
The Georgia Bulldogs overtook the Alabama Crimson Tide as the No. 1 team in America following a 48-7 blowout win at South Carolina.
With another week in the books, we have a firm idea who the top three teams in America are. Beyond the top three, there’s plenty to debate. Are Kentucky and Arkansas legit? Can Clemson, USC, Oklahoma and Michigan do enough to give any team a tough time in the College Football Playoff?
