In a shocking development the way things are going with the national narrative, the Ohio State football team actually held steady in one of the major polls instead of dropping behind Clemson. That’s right, the Amway Coaches Poll and College Football Playoff Rankings may have OSU at No. 4, but the Associated Press is sticking to its guns and keeping the Buckeyes at No. 3, behind both Alabama (1), and Notre Dame (2).
Ever since the CFP Committee decided to throw Ohio State behind one-loss Clemson, almost every media site, poll, and talking head has decided to follow suit and set up the narrative that OSU just isn’t as good as they thought. It’s only played four games and sat out last week because of coronavirus concerns, so that didn’t help matters.
Behind the three aforementioned teams, and rounding out the top ten are Clemson (4), Texas A&M (5), Florida (6), Cincinnati (7), BYU (8), Miami (9), and Indiana (1).
POLL ALERT: No. 1 Alabama leads locked in first 8 in AP Top 25 rankings for fourth straight week; Texas, Auburn out; Iowa, Washington in.
