COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State is back on top of the college football world as its 14-7 win Saturday over No. 1 Texas has been rewarded by poll voters.

Coaches have voted the Buckeyes (1-0) the new top team in the USA Today rankings. The loss dropped Texas down five spots to No. 6.

The strong defensive effort in Columbus by Ohio State against the Longhorns impressed the country and was one of three top-ten games in Week 1 that ended with the lower-ranked team winning.

New No. 4 LSU (formerly No. 9) beat No. 8 Clemson (formerly No. 6) 17-10 Saturday night before Miami, who moved from No. 10 to No. 7, took down Notre Dame Sunday night 27-24, dropping the Irish from No. 5 to No. 9.
