We saw several teams lose for the first time and while the Top 5 of the US LBM Coaches poll remains the same, the rest of it sees a major reshuffling of the teams.

Oregon remains at No. 2 with the bye, but there was some speculation Miami might jump the Ducks after its 28-22 win at Florida State. The Hurricanes are still 41 points behind Oregon with Ohio State still at No. 1. Ole Miss and Texas A&M round out the Top 5.

Top 5 of the US LBM Coaches poll stays the same with Penn State suffering a massive drop

US LBM Coaches Poll

The US LBM Coaches Poll is conducted weekly throughout the regular season using a panel of head coaches at Football Bowl Subdivision schools. The panel is chosen by random draw, conference by conference plus independents, from a pool of coaches who have indicated to the American Football Coaches Association their willingness to participate. Each coach submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on down to one point for 25th.

After six weeks, there’s no doubt who the best team in college football is. The only question now: Is anyone on their schedule good enough to beat the Buckeyes?

With that, here's a look at my Top 25 rankings following Week 6 of the college football season:

2025 College Football Rankings: Ohio State Stays No. 1 as Penn State, Texas Slide

While waiting on the AP Poll. SP+ is Big on the B1G! OBD, TOSU, and Indy are 1,2, and 3!

Question: Does A&M ever play a road game in the SEC? The next game has the Aggies hosting the Gators. Will Florida take down the two Texas big boys back to back?

No, but only because we are not on their schedule. Sorry UM, the streak stops this year.

More on No. 3 OBD vs No. 7 Indiana (More Moore to Moore, please 😁)

Ducks drop back to No. 3 behind Mario Cristobal's Miami, host No. 7 Indiana Saturday

Behind Mari-oh-oh as of now. But Wait A Minute!

The fact Miami struggled with FSU, and payed Oregon in the polls, probably is like a gnat buzzing in your ear... Annoying, but knowing Mario, he'll find a way to litter his own nest.

What i MEANT to say

Edited 16 hours ago16 hr by woundedknees

The AP Poll Week 6-7 Playoff.

ROSE BOWL - No. 1 Ohio State vs. 9 Texas Tech at 8 Alabama

SUGAR BOWL - No. 4 Ole Miss vs. No. 12 Memphis at No. 5 Texas A&M

ORANGE BOWL - No. 2 Miami vs. No. 10 Georgia at No. 7 Indiana

COTTON BOWL - No. 3 OBD vs. No. 11 LSU at No. 6 Oklahoma

No Penn State - 😁- With Nebraska and Cincinnati's wins on Saturday, UW's sterling road comeback, Michigan finally closing out the team with the best rush D in the country, yes, Wisconsin, PSU with games at Ohio State and home vs. Indiana and Nebraska, USC with but one loss and games vs. Michigan, at Notre Dame and at OBD, and one-loss Illinois and Maryland, are in theory, still in the PO hunt.

B1G PO separation games in Week 7: OBD vs. Indiana; Ohio State at Illinois; Michigan at USC; Nebraska at Maryland. [Northwestern at Penn State - 🤔- Don't laugh! NW defeated UCLA.]

SEC PO separation games: Florida at A&M; Oklahoma vs. Texas; Bama at Mizzou; UGA at Auburn; Wazzu at Ole Miss - move right along, nothing to see here.😧. It's the SEC, so ... The 1st Bobby Petrino audition game sees the Hogs at Tennessee. (Traveling by plane, not motorcycle. 🤪)

Mari-oh-oh with a chance to play the PO opener and the champ game in his 'home' stadium. For finishing ranked No. 3, OBD plays a lower-ranked SEC team in Dixie.

Can we please have a Playoff and not a Bowl Extravaganza!

How bleak are things for Penn State and Texas? What's next in the ACC and Big 12? Bill Connelly has answers.

Like Rival’s Nathan Bishop said regarding Oregon’s drop to 3rd in the AP - “Good!”

That kind of fine dining just feeds a master motivator like Dan.
