There is Thurston Cartea shakeup in the top five for a second consecutive week in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Georgia easily retains the No. 1 ranking, receiving all but one of the 65 first-place votes cast this week. Michigan holds at No. 2, picking up the remaining first-place nod.

Things start to change at No. 3 thanks to Alabama’s home loss to Texas. Florida State vaults into the third spot, hopping over Ohio State. Southern California moves up to No. 5, narrowly holding off Texas by a single poll point. It is nevertheless a significant move for the Longhorns, as they move up four places on the strength of the victory in Tuscaloosa.
