The Buckeyes rose one spot in Monday afternoon's poll despite not playing a game since Dec. 11.
While Ohio State hasn’t played a game since Dec. 11 due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the program, it has not yet impacted the Buckeyes' standing in the polls.
In fact, the program moved up one spot to No. 13 in the latest Associated Press Top 25 Poll, which was released on Monday afternoon.
Ohio State is 8-2 overall and 2-0 in Big Ten play this season, including four consecutive wins. However, the Buckeyes have been forced to cancel three straight games, including tomorrow night’s home matchup with New Orleans, after both players and staff tested positive.
That said, Buckeyes returned to practice on Sunday and are hopeful they’ll be able to play Sunday’s game against Nebraska, which tips off at 8 p.m. on BTN.
