Georgia remains on top of the college football world according to the latest US LBM Coaches Poll. Utah avoided an upset on the road against Arizona late Saturday night and remains No. 2 in this week's coaches poll after remaining undefeated. The Utes are the highest-ranked undefeated team in the coaches poll this week. They are followed by Notre Dame after the Irish blew out Boston College this weekend to avoid any emotional letdown after a big win against Miami the previous week.
UCLA and Indiana continue to be the highest-ranked Big Ten teams in this week's coaches poll. The Bruins are No. 4 for the second week in a row following a Friday night victory at home over Illinois. The Hoosiers remain No. 5 following a home win over USC. The Trojans
fell from No. 14 down to No. 19 in this week's poll following the loss in Bloomington.
Other Big Ten teams appearing in this week's US LBM Coaches Poll, along with UCLA, Indiana, and USC, are No. 13 Iowa, No. 14 Oregon, and No. 17 Ohio State. All three teams won this weekend.
Here is the updated US LBM Coaches Poll.

Big Ten and the College Football Playoff
If the College Football Playoff went off this week's US LBM Coaches Poll, then UCLA and Indiana would be in great shape for securing a spot in this year's 12-team bracket. UCLA would get one of the four first-round byes, while Indiana would host a first-round matchup. Iowa and Oregon remain in the hunt but are sitting on the outside of the top-12 based on the coaches' poll. The College Football Playoff rankings released last week included UCLA and Indiana among the top 12 teams, and each should remain firmly in the playoff picture when the next release comes out on Tuesday.
