While chaos was the order of the day around college football, the Week 11 results did provide one measure of clarity. Oregon is still No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, and this time it’s unanimous.
The Ducks, who took care of business at home against Maryland, claim all 55 first-place votes this week. Ohio State is back up to No. 2 after blanking Purdue.
The next two spots still belong to the SEC, with No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Tennessee each moving up two positions. Penn State is back in the top five following a solid bounce-back win against Washington.
Indiana, 10-0 for the first time in program history, vaults four places to No. 6, its highest ranking ever. The Hoosiers will get at least another week to enjoy that ranking, as they have an open date before heading to Ohio State for a huge showdown in the Big Ten. Notre Dame climbs to No. 7, and BYU gains a spot to No. 8 after rallying to edge Utah in the wee hours.

WINNERS AND LOSERS:Georgia's loss to Mississippi leads Week 11 storylines
Alabama is back in the top 10, climbing to No. 9 after its demolition of LSU. Georgia tumbles eight places after losing to Mississippi but holds on to the No. 10 position, its lowest ranking since Dec. 6, 2020. Curiously UGa still finishes ahead of No. 11 Mississippi by 10 poll points despite Saturday’s result in Oxford. Miami (Fla.) also takes an eight-position hit dropping to No. 12 after its first loss of the season at the hands of Georgia Tech. SMU and Boise State are tied at No. 13.
Army, the only other unbeaten squad, is up to No. 17, its highest ranking since USA TODAY Sports began administering the coaches poll in 1991. South Carolina joins the poll at No. 23, and No. 24 Louisville returns.
Pittsburgh and Vanderbilt are this week's dropouts.
