Coaches poll: Tide, Utah rise

A wild Saturday that saw four top-10 teams lose has led to a major shakeup in the Coaches Poll top 25.

Ole Miss, Georgia, Notre Dame and UCLA all exited the top-10, making room for new No. 6 Clemson, No. 7 Utah, No. 9 Oklahoma and No. 10 Alabama.

Florida was the poll's highest riser, leaping from No. 23 to No. 12 after upsetting the Rebels, who fell from fifth to No. 13. Georgia and UCLA tied for the poll's biggest, both dropping 10 spots from No. 6 and No. 10, respectively.

Ohio State retained its spot at the top of the polls despite losing 11 first-place votes, pulling 50 of a possible 62.
