Coaches Poll top 25: Michigan plummets but remains, while LSU surges in Week 2 college football rankings
Sports2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported3m ago
Following the opening week of college football, major shifts are occurring in the national rankings as highlighted by the latest Coaches Poll and the anticipated Associated Press Top 25 poll. Michigan experienced a significant drop in the rankings—referred to as a plummet or a "miracle"—while still remaining in the top 25 ahead of an upcoming Week 2 matchup against Oklahoma.
Simultaneously, LSU made a major surge, jumping into the top 10 following a lopsided, blowout victory over Clemson. Additional volatility in the rankings is expected due to other competitive opening-week performances, notably No. 2 Oregon's closer-than-expected win over Boise State, which could further impact the regular-season AP poll set for release on Tuesday.
