Changes in coaches' Top 10 but not at top

MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Losses by Top 10 teams last week shook up the USA Today Coaches' football poll but not at the very top where Florida, Texas and Alabama remain.

Iowa, Oregon, Louisiana State and Penn State lost last week, in Iowa's case ending the chance of a perfect season, and dropped in the poll released Monday.

Florida (9-0) pulled in 48 first-place votes and remained No. 1 while Texas (9-0) got four first-place votes and is No. 2. Third-ranked Alabama (9-0), which received seven first-place votes, earned a shot at Florida in the SEC Championship game Dec. 5.

Texas Christian (9-0) continues to lurk at No. 4 while Cincinnati (9-0) improved two spots to No. 5, a move that pushed Boise State (9-0) from fifth to sixth.

Georgia Tech (9-1) moved from 11th to seventh with Ohio State (8-2) now eighth from 12th, Pittsburgh (8-1) up from 14th to ninth and Southern California (7-2) going from 13th to 10th.

LSU (7-2) slipped from ninth to 11th and Houston (8-1), 15th a week ago, is at No. 12. Iowa (9-1) went from sixth to 13th but Utah (8-1) and Miami (Fla.) were both up two to 14th and 15th, respectively.

Oregon (7-2) is at No. 16, falling from eighth and Penn State (8-2) went from 10th to 17th. Oklahoma State (7-2) kept the No. 18 spot while Arizona (6-2) is 19th and Wisconsin (7-2) is 20th.

Virginia Tech (6-3) and Brigham Young (7-2) each moved up three spots to 21st and 22nd, respectively. No. 23 West Virginia (7-2), 24th-rated South Florida (6-2) and No. 25 Auburn (7-3) are new entries in the rankings.

Oklahoma, Notre Dame and California dropped off this week's poll.
