The Ohio State football team had what might have been its most complete game of the season in a dominating win over Michigan State on Saturday. The final score was 38-3, but most of the work was done in the first half before head coach Ryan Day took his foot off the gas pedal.
The Buckeyes have been near the top of the US LBM Coaches poll but haven’t been able to get up above No. 3 despite being ranked No. 1 in the first two releases of the College Football Playoff rankings.
The latest Coaches Poll was just released and there are the usual teams: Georgia, Michigan, Florida State, Washington, Oregon, Texas and Alabama.
But where is Ohio State after dismantling the Spartans and remaining one of the five undefeated Power Five teams? Here’s where OSU landed along with the rest of the teams appearing. We start by counting down the top 10 then sharing the rest of the poll at the end.
