No. 2 Clemson and No. 3 Georgia both hit the road in Week 2 and held their places in the Coaches Poll, the Tigers receiving just three first-place votes after surviving against Texas A&M and the Bulldogs now closing in on that No. 2 spot -- though receiving no first-place votes -- after running away with a 24-point win at South Carolina.
Ohio State remains at No. 4 following a drubbing of Rutgers with one first-place vote, and there was no movement throughout the top 10 of the poll.
Michigan State fell from No. 13 to No. 24 after losing 16-13 at Arizona State, a result that now has Herm Edwards' squad in the rankings for the first time this season at No. 25. South
