After a much improved performance Saturday, the Buckeyes remain the top team in the latest Coaches Poll.

The Buckeyes looked much closer to a No. 1 team on Saturday, in a 38-10 rout of Penn State in the 'Shoe. The Buckeyes continued to maintain their No. 1 standing in the latest Coaches Poll released Sunday, holding that top spot for all eight weeks of the poll this season. The Buckeyes received 45 of 64 first place votes this week.

Behind the Buckeyes, Baylor maintained their No. 2 spot with their win over West Virginia. TCU also held firm at No. 3 after their 45-21 victory over Iowa State. Michigan State comes in at No. 4 after their stunning win over Michigan, who dropped to No. 17 after the loss.

Stanford, Memphis, and Toledo saw the biggest jumps up to No. 11 and No. 17, and No. 20 respectively, up five spots from last week's poll. Florida dropped down to No. 14, after losing on a fake field goal to Les Miles' LSU Tigers. Texas A&M also fell in the standings, down to No. 16 after losing at home to Alabama. After a loss to Memphis, Ole Miss came in at No. 23 this week, dropping 11 spots from last week.

Northwestern dropped out of the rankings after losing for a second consecutive week, this time at the hands of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Boise State also dropped from the poll after taking a 52-26 loss at the hands of Utah State in Logan. Newcomers to the poll include Georgia at No. 25, and Temple at No. 24.
