It is clear that the coaches did not like Ohio State’s loss.
Ohio State was in a great position to win their 32–31 loss at Oregon, but the Coaches Poll did not give them any points for that. From 2 to 5, Ohio State lost to Georgia, and Penn State went through the roof after beating USC in overtime.
There are four SEC teams and three Big Ten teams in the top eight. However, Miami and Clemson help the ACC get into the top ten.
