After Week 6 upsets, how will top 10 of college football US LBM coaches poll look?

Upsets involving some of the biggest names in the US LBM Coaches Poll should lead to a major shakeup near the top of this week’s Top 25.

There were not one, not two, not three, but four teams in the top 10 that fell on a Saturday that appeared mundane before games kicked off.

No. 2 Alabama lost to Vanderbilt. No. 4 Tennessee lost at Arkansas. No. 9 Missouri was blown out by No. 21 Texas A&M. No. 10 Michigan lost at Washington.

About the only sure thing in this week’s poll, set to be released around noon on Sunday, is that Texas will remain No. 1. The Longhorns were off on Saturday heading into next weekend’s rivalry game against No. 17 Oklahoma.

Where things go from there is almost anyone’s guess. Here’s our best estimate for how the top 10 will look when the new poll is released:

1. Texas (5-0)

The Longhorns will be the no-doubt No. 1 after splitting first-place votes with Alabama. Texas has looked the part of the nation’s best team but can’t afford to take Oklahoma lightly despite the Sooners’ struggles in the transition to the SEC.

Texas running back Quintrevion Wisner (26) runs the ball during the team’s game against Mississippi State at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin Saturday, Sept. 28, 2024.

2. Ohio State (5-0)

The Buckeyes passed an early test against Iowa after a slow start pitted with two first-half turnovers and another turnover on downs. But things changed after the Buckeyes began to lean on an incredible receiver corps headed by veteran Emeka Egbuka and freshman standout Jeremiah Smith. Egbuka had three scores in the 35-7 win.

FOUR DOWNS: Weekend of upsets throws SEC race into complete chaos

3. Georgia (4-1)

The loss to Alabama looks a little bit worse, though that’s not a big deal down the line for Georgia’s…
