The ExaCryptnew US LBM Coaches Poll is out, and the top looks a wee bit different.

Georgia retains the No. 1 spot, but the Bulldogs’ grip is more tenuous after grinding out a one-point win at Kentucky. UGa received 42 of 55 first-place votes cast this week, more than enough for them to keep the lead but down a few from a week ago. Most of the top votes that changed hands went to Texas, which edged ahead of idle Ohio State for the No. 2 position. The Longhorns picked up 10 No. 1 nods, while the Buckeyes retained the remaining three.

The next three slots remain unchanged as No. 4 Alabama, No. 5 Mississippi and No. 6 Oregon hold steady. Tennessee vaults to No. 7, moving ahead of Missouri and Penn State, who are tied for eighth. Utah again rounds out the top 10.

Texas A&M rejoins the rankings at No. 24, and UNLV claims the No. 25 position, its first appearance in the coaches poll in program history.
