Show Caption Hide Caption Amway Coaches Poll: Utah passes Oklahoma, Oregon and Penn State out of top 10 USA TODAY Sports' Paul Myerberg breaks down the latest Amway Coaches Poll.

The top five teams remained unchanged in the Amway Coaches Poll this week. The same cannot be said for the rest of the teams in the top 10, however, which saw considerable shuffling.

LSU is still No. 1 after breezing past Arkansas. The Tigers received 52 of 63 first-place votes cast this week. Ohio State had a slightly more difficult time putting away Penn State, but the Buckeyes prevailed and remain at No. 2 with seven No. 1 nods.

No. 3 Clemson, which had the weekend off, claimed the remaining four firsts. Georgia and Alabama continue to round out the top five.

Utah took the most significant step forward. The Utes vaulted to No. 6 and are now the highest-ranked Pac-12 representative. They leapfrogged No. 7 Oklahoma, who survived a scare from TCU. Florida, also off this weekend, gained two spots to No. 8. Minnesota and Baylor earned bounce-back wins to climb back into the top 10.

Penn State slipped three places to No. 12 after coming up short at Ohio State. Oregon, which saw its playoff hopes dashed in a loss at Arizona State, tumbled seven places to No. 13.

No. 23 Virginia Tech joined the poll this week. No. 24 Navy and No. 25 Southern California also moved in. The Trojans, whose regular season is complete with an 8-4 mark, finished a single poll point ahead of Air Force for the 25th spot.

SMU, Texas A&M and San Diego State dropped out after losses.
