Here is the new Amway/USA Today Coaches Poll for September 2, 2014:
1. Florida State: The preseason number one stays that way despite a sloppy win over unranked Oklahoma State.
2. Alabama: The Tide stay at 2 after a win over West Virginia.
3. Oklahoma: Thrashed Louisiana Tech on Saturday, but that should come as no surprise.
4. Oregon: Offense was on a roll, but they did give up 13 first half points to South Dakota.
5. Auburn: When Nick Marshall joined the game after halftime, the Tigers returned to 2013 form.
6. Michigan State: I hope the defense got a little bit of a workout in against Jacksonville State.
7. Ohio State: They actually fell a spot for letting Navy hang around for 52 minutes.
8. Georgia: The Bulldogs jump four slots with Gurley trampling Clemson.
9. Baylor: Recording their first shutout against an FBS school since 1995 earns them a one slot jump this week.
10. Stanford: Gained a spot after hammering UC-Davis
11. UCLA: The Bruins slide four places since they couldn’t get their offense going against Virginia.
12. LSU: LSU only gains one spot after come-from-behind win over Badgers.
