The Ohio State football team might have been idle this past week, but with all the chaos still taking place across the college football landscape, the Buckeyes again climbed in the latest USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll. In fact, the Buckeyes have now moved back into the top five for the first time since the week prior to the game against Oregon.
OSU has continued to look more like the OSU teams of the past with a more consistent and explosive offense along with an improving defense. The result has been three straight impressive wins, with plenty of tests still ahead.
The top ten has changed yeat again, with Georgia, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, and Alabama appearing ahead of the Buckeyes, and Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Oklahoma State, and Oregon rounding out the top ten.
