We said wait for the coaches. The coaches posted.
US LBM Coaches Poll, via USA Today / AFCA, published Sept. 13: Texas is No. 1 โ 1,804 points, 42 first-place votes, 2โ0, up from 3. Georgia 2 (1,732, 15 firsts). Notre Dame 3 (1,639, four). Indiana 4 (1,611, 10). Miami (FL) 5 (1,549, two). Ohio State 6 (1,480), was 1, record 1โ1. LSU 7 (one first). Texas A&M 8. Ole Miss 9. Alabama 10.
The drops the AP ballot already flagged, with different seats: Oregon 18, was 6. Oklahoma 21, was 10. Michigan 19, was 24. Iowa 20. Morningโs AP Top 25 had Texas with 56 firsts and 1,678 points, Oregon at 21, Oklahoma at 24, Iowa at 18. 42 is not 56. This is the other room.
AFCA: Texas erased a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit against a No. 1 for the first time since 2004. 24โ23 already ran Sunday. We will not invent Monday Night Football. Houston at Texas Tech is still Friday.
What this means for you
If you needed 56 firsts, that was 8 a.m. If you needed coaches, this is 42. If you needed a kickoff tonight, wait for a final.
Bottom line: Texas 1. 42 firsts. Ohio State 6. Oregon 18.
