Despite blowing out previously ranked No. 9 Nebraska by 59 points, Ohio State remained at No. 6 in the latest AP Poll. The Buckeyes still trail No. 5 Louisville, who took down Boston College on Saturday.

The top five remains the same, with Alabama at No. 1, Michigan at No. 2, Clemson at No. 3, Washington at No. 4, and the aforementioned Louisville right ahead of Ohio State.

In the Big Ten, Wisconsin appears right behind the Bucks at No. 7, while Penn State checks in at No. 12. Penn State is the highest riser in the Big Ten, moving up eight spots from last week.

Ranked at No. 5 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, Ohio State has a chance to crack the top four of the College Football Playoff rankings, which will be announced on Tuesday.

The rest of the AP top 25 is below.
