Ohio State reentered the Amway Coaches Poll today following the Big Ten's announcement earlier this week to begin conference play on October 24.
The Buckeyes, who were No. 2 in the preseason version of the poll, came in at just No. 10 this week after being unranked last week, when they were not scheduled to play this fall. They lead five Big Ten teams in the poll – Penn State (13th), Wisconsin (17th), Michigan (19th) and Minnesota (22nd) are also back in the top 25 this week – but are behind eight teams who were ranked behind them in the preseason poll, including five SEC teams who also haven't yet played a game.
The Associated Press poll will resume including Big Ten teams next week.
