Week 2 US LBM Coaches Poll reveals massive shakeup near the top

Week 2 of the 2024 college football season was a wild one. With one of the biggest upsets in recent history and a couple of close calls, the latest US LBM Coaches Poll reflects the much-warranted fluctuation in the rankings.

The biggest headline of the week belongs to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish , who entered this week’s matchup with Northern Illinois ranked No. 7 in the Coaches Poll. However, a loss in South Bend to NIU has now possibly derailed their season.

The Oregon Ducks were in a battle with Boise State, the Penn State Nittany Lions were fighting with Bowling Green most of the game and even the Alabama Crimson Tide had a bit of a struggle with South Florida before running away with it late in the fourth quarter.
