The Amway Coaches Poll has been released, and the Ohio State Buckeyes are holding steady at the same No. 2 spot they held a week ago.

With Florida State’s loss to Alabama, the Seminoles dropped from No. 2 to No. 9, allowing Clemson to move up from No. 5 to No. 3, jumping USC, who dropped from No. 4 to No. 6.

Ohio State was joined in the top 10 be fellow Big Ten East schools Penn State at No. 4 and Michigan at No. 8.

Wisconsin dropped out of the top 10, falling one spot to No. 11 following their 49-point win over Utah State.

Maryland didn’t quite crack the Top 25, finishing three spots out of the poll. Nebraska also received some votes, as did Northwestern, Iowa, and Minnesota.
