Week 3 was a brutal one for a number of top-10 teams. Ohio State lost. Iowa State fell. Texas A&M hung on for dear life at Colorado. Notre Dame almost lost at home to Toledo.
That led to quite a bit of shakeup in the USA TODAY Week 3 Coaches Poll, especially when paired with some chaos featuring teams ranked lower.
The 2 constants? Alabama and Georgia remained at the top of the poll, with the Tide followed by the Bulldogs.
A total of 7 SEC teams made the top 25, with Auburn and Arkansas making it after big wins on Saturday.
