Another week of the college football season means another iteration of the US LBM Coaches poll, and another week of Ohio State showing up on top. The Buckeyes have been ranked No. 1 since the win over Texas after Week 1, meaning they have now topped the poll for 13 weeks in a row.
Coming in behind Ohio State are some familiar teams. In fact, there weren't any changes inside the top ten of the poll. That means Indiana checks in at No. 2, followed by Texas A&M (3), Georgia (4), Oregon (5), Ole Miss (6), Texas Tech (7), Oklahoma (8), Notre Dame (9), and Alabama (10).
The Buckeyes' stranglehold on the top spot comes just in time for Michigan Week, which moved up to the No. 15 spot in the poll. As usual, there are some things on the line for the annual grudge match. Ohio State has to beat the Wolverines to make it to Indy for the Big Ten Championship game, and Michigan retains a shot at getting there itself if it can win "The Game" and then see Washington beat Oregon in Seattle later in the day. There's also a chance Michigan could still get into the College Football Playoff with a win over the Buckeyes.
Here's a look at the entire US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 13
The results in Week 13 of the college football season caused some changes to the US LBM Coaches Poll heading into the final Saturday of the regular season.
