Week 3 of the 2025 college football schedule is officially in the books and the US LBM Coaches Poll has been released. Unfortunately for the Gator Nation, Florida finds itself without a single vote this week after a road loss at the LSU Tigers on Saturday.

The top seven teams in the poll remain unchanged, with the Ohio State Buckeyes leading the pack, followed by the Penn State Nittany Lions and Georgia Bulldogs. Somewhat surprisingly, LSU maintained its No. 4 ranking despite a lackluster display against the Gators, while the Oregon Ducks round out the top five.

This week’s poll features an eye-popping 12 Southeastern Conference schools among the top 25, with one other also receiving votes. Along with the aforementioned SEC programs, the Texas Longhorns (No. 7), Texas A&M Aggies (No. 10), Ole Miss Rebels (No. 11), Oklahoma Sooners (No. 12), Alabama Crimson Tide (No. 14), Tennessee Volunteers (No. 15), Missouri Tigers (No. 22), Vanderbilt Commodores (No. 23), South Carolina Gamecocks (No. 24) and Auburn Tigers (No. 25) also made the cut.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs were the other school to earn votes, hauling in 27 this week.
