Ohio State stood pat at No. 2 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll following its 21-7 win at Northwestern on Saturday afternoon.

Undefeated TCU moves into fourth, while Tennessee, Oregon, USC, LSU, Ole Miss and UCLA round out the top 10. The Tigers notably handed Alabama its second loss of the season on Saturday, with the Crimson Tide falling to 11th.
