Here’s the USA Today Coaches Poll for Week 12. LSU is, unsurprisingly, No. 1 after knocking off Alabama, which is now No. 4. Between them are Stanford and Oklahoma State.
Penn State had a horrific week off the field, but their results on the field have been just fine, so the Nittany Lions are tops among Big Ten schools at No. 12. They’re followed by Michigan State (No. 13), Wisconsin (No. 14), Nebraska (No. 17), and Michigan (No. 21).
The Big East, meanwhile, is represented only by Cincinnati (which is all the way up at No. 18 after beating Pitt).
