Despite its double overtime victory in Happy Valley, Ohio State fell in the Coaches Poll (No. 12 to No. 13) but maintained its No. 13 ranking in the AP Top 25 poll, despite losing points.
The Big Ten is back to only three ranked teams after Illinois' upset win over Minnesota. Michigan State's blowout win over Michigan all but assured the Spartans will carry a top ten ranking into its November 8th showdown with Ohio State.
