For the second straight week, Ohio State's position held in both polls. The Buckeyes are third in the Coaches and fourth in the AP. It sets up a No. 3 vs. No. 24/No. 4 vs. No. 23 showdown next Saturday in Ohio Stadium. College GameDay will not be at the Wisconsin game, all but confirming they'll be at Northwestern if OSU takes care of business.
After yet another squeaker against an inferior opponent, Michigan fell multiple spots in each poll.
