Ohio State and the rest of the Big Ten is still prepping for the beginning of a season that’s set to start October 23 and 24, but the Buckeyes are still appearing in a lot of rankings, predictions, and analysis since the season is back on after concerns over the COVID-19.
One of those listings includes ESPN writer Chris Low’s college football Power Rankings that he releases every week. And with the Buckeyes back in the fray, he is one of the very few that hat Ohio State as high as No. 2 still in week four’s edition.
In fact, most ESPN media members have begun to elevate Alabama after seeing the Tide play after the SEC’s week one. Low is the same, but he has a lower opinion of Clemson down at No. 3.
So who else does Low have in his power rankings? Behind Alabama and Ohio State are Clemson (3), Florida (4), and Notre Dame rounding out the top five. But what does he say about Ohio State’s ranking?
Florida jumped into the top 5, but it was another SEC team who went from unranked to No. 8 in @ClowESPN's Power Rankings.

No. 2 – Ohio State
What Chris Low says
“Changing addresses has become the norm in college football, and transfers have played key roles the past few years for the teams winning championships and making the College Football Playoff. Running back Trey Sermon could be that transfer this season for the Buckeyes after coming over from Oklahoma. J.K. Dobbins was a sensational talent, but Sermon and Master Teague III should complement each other well in the Ohio State backfield, especially with Teague ahead of schedule in his rehab from the Achilles injury he suffered in the spring.”
