Ohio State Stays At No. 2 In AP Top 25 Poll After Win At Penn State

The Buckeyes are now tied with Tennessee, which faces top-ranked Georgia next weekend.

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 44-31 win over Penn State.

POLL ALERT: Tennessee and Ohio State tied at No. 2; sets up Vols' 1-2 showdown with top-ranked Georgia.

The Buckeyes are now tied with Tennessee for second in the poll, as the Volunteers are coming off a blowout win over Kentucky on Saturday. That said, Tennessee is set to face top-ranked Georgia next weekend, which will certainly cause a shakeup at the top of the polls.

The rest of the top eight remained the same, with Michigan at No. 4, Clemson at No. 5, Alabama at No. 6, TCU at No. 7 and Oregon at No. 8. USC and UCLA fill out the top 10, meanwhile, after Oklahoma State and Wake Forest were embarrassed on the road on Saturday.

The Nittany Lions fell three spots to No. 16 following the loss, while Illinois moved up three spots to No. 14 following its win at Nebraska. That represents all four Big Ten teams in this week’s poll, though Maryland (36) also received votes after its win over Northwestern.
