Alabama took down former US LBM Coaches Poll No. 1 Georgia this weekend, leading to a top-10 shakeup. Nine SEC teams are ranked after Week 5.

Every time the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs get together it is appointment television. The Tide have dominated the series winning nine of the last ten, but they always come down to the thinnest of margins with last night being the latest case.

The Longhorns received 29 of 55 first-place votes and finish just nine poll points ahead of the Crimson Tide. It is the first No. 1 appearance for Texas in the coaches poll since Oct. 26, 2008.

OSU remained at No. 3, behind No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Georgia, just as things looked after Week 3. Ohio State has looked absolutely dominant but has yet to play any opponent as good as what both the Longhorns and Bulldogs have, so it’s a bit of a wait-and-see for voters, and it does makes at least some sense.

This might be an eye-grabber for a lot of USC football fans. The Trojans are ranked three spots below LSU in the new US LBM Coaches Poll, presented by USA TODAY Sports. The poll is out after Week 5 of the college football season.

The Georgia Bulldogs fell four spots in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Georgia lost in a wild 41-34 game to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Georgia, who was previously No. 1, is now ranked No. 5.

Thanks to a (sloppy) win over Mississippi State and Alabama’s upset of Georgia, the Texas Longhorns are now No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Texas had trailed Georgia for a few weeks. The Longhorns have spent two weeks as No. 1 in the AP Poll.

With the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff debuting in 2024, the SEC could send as many as five programs to the dance. The additions of Texas and Oklahoma raise the floor, but Georgia still sits on the throne in the 2024 SEC Power Rankings.
