AP Top 25 ballot: Did Ohio State do enough to remain No. 1? | Week 6

Following the opening weekend of the college football season, Ohio State was the unanimous choice atop the Associated Press Top 25, receiving the No. 1 ranking from all 61 voters in the media poll.

The Buckeyes' luster has diminished since then, receiving 59 first-place votes after Week 2, 45 after Week 3 and 42 after Week 4.

Ohio State turned in another less-than-dominant victory Saturday at Indiana, holding off the previously unbeaten Hoosiers, 34-27, thanks to a pass breakup in the end zone as time expired.

Did Ohio State look flawless in improving to 5-0? Hardly.
