"The best atmosphere in college football" was no match for No. 1 Ohio State on Sunday night as the Buckeyes left High Point Solutions Stadium with the program's 21st consecutive W.
Consider the coaches (and their SIDs) on notice. Ohio State retained its No. 1 ranking in the latest Coaches Poll as teams like Utah and Florida State tumbled out of the top ten.
Baylor, Texas Christian, Louisiana State, and Michigan State round out the poll's Top 5.
The SEC leads the way with five teams within the Top 25. The Big Ten and Big 12 each placed four. Tom Herman's Houston is up to No. 19, one spot ahead of Matt Campell's Toledo team.
