MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Louisiana State is a unanimous No. 1 in the USA Today coaches football poll.
The Tigers improved to 9-0 with a taut 9-6 overtime victory Saturday over previous No. 2 Alabama. That was enough to convince all 59 coaches on the USA Today panel to put LSU first in the voting. It is the first time this season there is a unanimous No. 1 team in college football.
Alabama (8-1), however, didn't drop far. The Crimson Tide is fourth, with Stanford (9-0) and Oklahoma State (9-0) each moving up one spot to second and third, respectively.
Boise State (8-0) remains fifth. The other remaining undefeated team is Houston (9-0), which is yet to crack the Top 10.
