You won’t believe where Brett McMurphy ranked Ohio State in his AP Top 25 ballot after Week 10

One of the things we like to follow on this Ohio State homer site is where polls and analysts rank the Buckeyes after the latest results on the college football field each week.

We are obviously closely tied to the US LBM Coaches Poll with it being USA TODAY affiliated and all, but we also take a peek from time-to-time at the AP Top 25 poll, what Fox analyst Joel Klatt says, what Kirk Herbstreit thinks, and yes, even more when it makes sense.

An offer for Buckeyes fans

Well, there’s one we couldn’t pass up this week and it’s from an old friend of Buckeye Nation. Brett McMurphy has some history with Ohio State fans (that we will not get into here), and it’s not a love affair, but one that many Buckeye fans cringe at.

However, he is an AP poll voter, and he just let everyone know how he voted in the poll after Week 10. You might be very, very surprised where he ranked OSU.

Are you sitting down? Good. If not, do so now.

McMurphy actually believes Ohio State is the … wait for it … No. 1 team in the country. What? Yes, that’s right. The guy that has thrown several haymakers to the OSU program over the years has the Buckeyes at No. 1 followed by Georgia, Florida State, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss and Penn State in his top 10.

You can get a complete look at his top 25 below thanks to the post he lobbed out there on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.

Here’s a little Buckeye high-five to McMurphy for ranking the Wolverines at No. 4 as well. Maybe, just maybe, there’s hope for this world we live in when we see things like this, eh?
