We’ve been following the USA TODAY re-rank column almost all season now. We’re happy to report that Paul Myerberg came to his senses just a few games into the 2019 season and has had Ohio State “re-ranked” at No. 1 almost each and every week, except for the one week after LSU beat Alabama.
The Buckeyes though were quickly put back in the top spot after the Tigers’ defense looked more suspect than a masked robber. OSU has remained there the last couple of weeks, including with the newest re-ranking.
Though Ohio State may have shown some issues with turnovers against Penn State, Myerberg believes the win over a top ten team solidifies the Buckeyes as the top team in the country for now.
LSU continues to be No. 2 followed by Clemson (3), Alabama (4), and Georgia (5) to round out the top five. Here’s how the top ten looks like according to Myerberg:
1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Clemson
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
6. Utah
7. Minnesota
8. Oklahoma
9. Baylor
10. Penn State.
Ohio State of course has the big one against Michigan this weekend. A win would likely keep it No. 1 according to the re-rank. A loss, well — let’s just not even go there.
