Just like the USA Today Coaches Poll, which was released earlier this afternoon, Ohio State remained at No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll following its 54-10 win over Iowa.

The Buckeyes picked up an additional first-place vote in this week’s poll, which has the same top five as last week, with Georgia at No. 1, Tennessee at No. 3, Michigan at No. 4 and Clemson at No. 5. The Bulldogs and Wolverines were idle, while the Volunteers and Tigers beat Tennessee-Martin and Syracuse, respectively.
