Ohio State still stands comfortably above the rest of college football ahead of Week 12 following the Buckeyes' 34-10 win on the road against Purdue yesterday. OSU earned the No. 1 overall ranking once again in the AP and Coaches Polls, as well as 55 of a possible 65 first place votes in the former compared to 59 of 63 in the latter.
Indiana held onto its No. 2 overall ranking after a scare against Penn State yesterday that required a go-ahead touchdown sequence down the stretch from Hoosiers wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. and quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
