The Coaches Poll has its problems, but like the AP Top 25 Poll, it went with Texas at No. 1 after its win over Ohio State, and it’s all SEC dominance from there.
Georgia is still the No. 2, and LSU (7), Texas A&M (8), Ole Miss (9), and Alabama (10) means that half of the Coaches Poll top ten is made up of SEC teams.
With Tennessee at 14, Oklahoma 21, and Missouri 22, it keeps on going. And it doesn’t stop there. Florida (26), South Carolina (30), Mississippi State (31), and Vanderbilt (32) mean a whopping 12 of the top 32 are all SEC.

Coaches Poll Week 3 Quick Hits
- Yes, the Big Ten has plenty of teams in prominent spots, but Ohio State fell to fifth, Oregon dropped 12 spots, and Washington fell five spots.
- The Oregon problem is even worse than the AP Poll’s issue, which has the Ducks at 21. Oregon is 18, and Oklahoma State is 36th. Even worse, Boise State – who lost to Oregon – is ahead of Oklahoma State.
- 2-0 Tulsa beat Oklahoma State. It’s behind the Cowboys, Oregon, and Boise State, and received only seven votes.
