The new polls are out and the Buckeyes are up two spots to No. 13 in the AP Poll, while also climbing to No. 13 in the Coaches Poll.
Five Four teams ranked above the Buckeyes fell Saturday - Auburn, Baylor, TCU, Arizona and Texas A&M, which should have aided Ohio State in both polls. Arizona and A&M fell beneath the Buckeyes. Curiously, TCU did not move at all in the Coaches Poll despite blowing a 21-point lead to Baylor in the 4th quarter.
The Big Ten has three teams ranked in each poll led by Michigan State at 6th (8th in AP), the Buckeyes and Nebraska at 19th.
