November 24, 2024 by AFCA.com and CollegeFootballPoll.com Staff

Arizona State moves up to No. 15 in this week’s US LBM Coaches Poll and is now in a four-way tie for first place in the Big 12 Conference. BYU suffers their second loss of the season and drops to No. 20.

Arizona State gave BYU one last chance to win their Big 12 matchup, but the Cougars Hail Mary pass with one second remaining was caught a couple of yards short of the endzone and the Sun Devils took home their fourth straight victory, 28-23.

The top four teams remained the same with Notre Dame moving into the fifth spot thanks to Indiana’s loss to Ohio State. The Hoosiers dropped to No. 10. The Fighting Irish are 10-1 after a dominating victory over then-No. 17 Army, 49-14. The Black Knights lost their first game of the season and drop to No. 22.

Alabama fell for a third time this year and dropped to No. 13. Ole Miss also fell for a third time and descended to No. 16. Likewise for Texas A&M which fell to No. 19
