COLUMBUS — Ohio State isn’t budging from its spot as the No. 2 team in the country, according to the AP Poll. Yes, the second Associated Press top 25 was released on Tuesday after a jam-packed five-day slate of college football in Week One. And the Buckeyes remained at No. 2 — behind Georgia.
The Buckeyes are ahead of Texas, Alabama and Notre Dame. Those three rounded out the top five. Michigan fell a spot to No. 10, while Penn State stayed at No. 8 and Oregon fell to No. 7.
Ohio State won’t play a ranked team until Oct. 5 when it plays No. 21 Iowa inside the Horseshoe. The Buckeyes will play at No. 7 Oregon a week later and No. 8 Penn State on Nov. 2 a few weeks before hosting No. 10 Michigan to close the regular season.
