Ohio State Stays At No. 3 In AP Top 25 Poll Following Win Over Rutgers

The Buckeyes are one of just three Big Ten teams ranked in this week's poll, joining Michigan and Penn State.

Just like the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll released earlier in the day, Ohio State remained at No. 3 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll following its 49-10 win over Rutgers.

POLL ALERT: Alabama reclaims No. 1 from Georgia by two points, Kansas enters at No. 19 to snap 13-season poll drought.
