Ohio State Drops Out of AP Top 25 Following Overtime Loss to North Carolina

The Buckeyes are no longer ranked in the AP poll.

Following Saturday's 89-84 overtime loss to North Carolina at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Ohio State's third defeat of the season, the Buckeyes dropped out of the AP Top 25 on Monday.

The Buckeyes held a ranking for the past three weeks, most recently at No. 23 before losing their spot on Monday. Ohio State received 33 votes in the latest poll, but seven unranked teams – including the Tar Heels – got more votes.
