Ohio State dumped UNLV on Saturday, 54-21.
A 33 point win over a Mountain West Conference foe, however, did not impress the Associated Press, which dropped Ohio State from No. 10 to No. 11 in its latest poll released Sunday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, the Coaches Poll kept Ohio State at No. 9 for the second week in a row.
