By Adam Spencer
Published:
The Coaches Poll has been released following a strange Week 12 in college football. None of the top teams looked particularly strong, with several earning narrow victories over inferior opponents.
Meanwhile, Tennessee got blown out 63-38 by unranked South Carolina, all but ending the Vols’ College Football Playoff hopes.
A total of 5 SEC teams — No. 1 Georgia, No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Alabama, No. 11 Tennessee and No. 19 Ole Miss — cracked the top 25 rankings this week.
South Carolina and Mississippi State were among the teams also receiving votes in this week’s poll.
