Hours after the Coaches Poll declared Ohio State as the nation's sixth best team, the Buckeyes were slated as the No. 6 team in the latest AP Top 25.
Ohio State will be idle this week as it awaits the Big Ten championship clash of No. 4 Undefeated Iowa and No. 5 Michigan State.
The Big Ten, like the Coaches Poll, paced the conferences with six appearances, from Undefeated Iowa at No. 4 to Wisconsin at No. 25.
