Ohio State fell a spot in the AP Poll but stood pat in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll following its 35-7 victory over Youngstown State on Saturday.
The Buckeyes remained at No. 4 in the Coaches Poll but fell to No. 6 in the AP Poll despite Alabama’s loss to Texas — with the Crimson Tide entering the week at No. 3 in the AP Poll and No. 4 Coaches Poll. Instead of climbing the rankings, Ohio State was jumped by Florida State in the coaches poll and fell below Texas and USC in the AP Poll on Sunday.
