The updated Coaches Poll results are out heading into Week 2 of the 2022 season.
When the new poll was dropped, the B1G placed 4 teams in the Top 25 led by Ohio State at No. 3. The Buckeyes – a preseason No. 2 – was dropped to third behind Georgia after the Bulldogs blew out Oregon in Week 1.
Michigan moved up a spot in the poll and Michigan State jumped three spots, both are likely fallout from Utah dropping a road opener to Florida. Utah fell seven spots as a result.
Wisconsin is also firmly in the top 25.
