The latest Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings were released following a wild Week 12 of college football. There were upsets, close calls and blowouts!

Now that we are down to the wire, games are getting tighter and it seems like every result means more. No, it’s not just for the SEC!

So without further ado, let’s dive into the latest Coaches Poll rankings. We’ll start at the top.

Ohio State rolled its way to another victory to remain undefeated, this time, beating UCLA 48-10. The Buckeyes are 10-0 and atop the Coaches Poll for another week.

It was a well balanced offensive attack and UCLA didn’t get any offense going until the second half without Nico Iamaleava. Onto the next one!

Indiana just keeps winning and didn’t let Wisconsin score back to back upsets. With that, the top of the Coaches Poll features the Hoosiers.

In the 31-7 win, Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza continued his Heisman campaign. He went 22-of-24 for 299 yards and four touchdowns as the Hoosiers improved to 11-0.

Texas A&M stayed high up the Coaches Poll by completing an epic comeback against South Carolina, 31-30. Down 30-3 at halftime, it looked all but over in terms of a perfect season.

But, Mike Elko’s contract extension looked pretty darn good after an insane home win to get to 10-0 on the season. Marcel Reed overcame two interceptions and finished with 439 yards passing and three touchdowns.

Statement made for Georgia as they stayed in the top 10 of the Coaches Poll, beating down Texas in Athens. It seemed like the Longhorns turned the corner, but Kirby Smart and crew proved why they are still in the national title conversation.

Gunner Stockton continued his Heisman push, accounting for 229 passing yards and five total touchdowns. The Bulldogs are 9-1 on the season and closing in on the CFP and trying to find their way into the SEC Championship.

Oregon didn’t waste any time on Friday night, beating Minnesota 42-13. The Ducks stayed in the top 10 of the Coaches Poll and improved to 9-1 on the season.

Dante Moore had one heck of a game, going 27-of-30 for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Oregon also led 28-6 at halftime and it was pretty much over then.

Ole Miss fought off an upset bid against Florida to stay in the top 10 of the Coaches Poll this week. Lane Kiffin and crew are now 10-1 and it’s double digit wins for the third straight year and fourth time during his tenure in Oxford.

Kewan Lacy was an absolute beast in this one, willing his team to victory, especially after some big defensive stops. He had 224 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.
