The Buckeyes moved up four spots after several top-10 teams lost on Saturday.
Just like the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, Ohio State moved up to No. 7 in the Associated Press top 25 poll released on Sunday afternoon.
Oregon, Arkansas, Notre Dame and Florida were all ranked ahead of the Buckeyes heading into Saturday but lost to Stanford, Georgia, Cincinnati and Kentucky, respectively.
Ohio State is one of five Big Ten teams ranked in his week’s poll, with Iowa at No. 3, Penn State at No. 4, Michigan at No. 9 and Michigan State at No. 11. The Buckeyes play the Nittany Lions and Spartans at home, travel to Ann Arbor to take on the Wolverines and could meet the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game.
