Penn State moved up two spots from No. 7 to No. 5 in the new college football Coaches Poll on Sunday after the Nittany Lions improved to 5-0 with a 27-11 win over UCLA. They were one of three Big Ten teams to rise in the polls after a chaotic weekend of college football.
Ohio State rose from No. 3 to No. 2 after a convincing 35-7 win over Iowa, and Oregon rose three spots to No. 3 after a 31-10 win over Michigan State on Friday night. However, the good week for the Big Ten in the poll matched a bad week for the SEC, as Alabama fell five spots to No. 7 after its stunning loss to Vanderbilt.
Among the other top-10 teams to tumble in the Coaches Poll were Tennessee and Missouri, after both suffered SEC road losses. The Volunteers fell from No. 4 to No. 9 after giving up an 11-point lead in the second half of a loss at Arkansas.
Missouri was punished even more severely when the Tigers fell from No. 9 to No. 18 after a 41-10 loss at Texas A&M. The Aggies’ dominance helped them rise from No. 21 to No. 14 as one of the biggest risers in the poll.
Texas remained at No. 1 after a bye week. The Longhorns face rival Oklahoma, which rose one spot to No. 16 after the Sooners also received a bye.
