The updated Associated Press Top 25 College Football Poll was released Sunday and Ohio State and other Big Ten teams are back in the mix after a two-week hiatus. The folks at the AP originally placed the Buckeyes in the initial poll for 2020 but with an asterisk because the Big Ten announced a postponement of the season.
After that, all of the Big Ten teams were not eligible for the poll until this week, the second version of all the fun since the news of the conference reversing course and setting out to begin fall football in late October.
So where is Ohio State now? The fine folks at the Associated Press have OSU checking in at No. 6, four spots lower than the original ranking released back in August.
POLL ALERT: No. 6 Ohio St, No. 10 Penn St jump back into Top 25, LSU and Oklahoma plummet. No. 1 Clemson, Alabama, Florida top poll.
