Ohio State dropped to 15th in the AP poll and 14th in the coaches poll. I think most of us agree that right now, this is not a current top 15 team. Where do you guys think this team's ranking should be right now, and where we will be at the end of the season?
I say we are a top 30 team right now, with our final ranking be between 10-15.
I'd say
23-24 for now,
18-19 later.
Get the kicker off the field!
In the 20-23 range. I really don't understand why the voters are so reluctant to drop us more.
Man. Why couldn't the football pollsters be as nice as the basketball pollsters are being to our basketball team?

Just like SEC teams in football that lose to quality opponents and don't drop far, you get the benefit of the doubt when you're opponents are percieved as good
I think the current rankings are about right. All 3 losses came against quality opponents with 2 of them on the road. While the performance in Champagne was poor, I expect the team to bounce back, and lots of teams will look bad playing at Illinois this year.
We've lost to numbers 1, 6, and 12 which is exactly what you'd expect the number 15 team to do. Granted we haven't beaten anyone ranked so it's tough to tell exactly where we should be but 15 isn't that ridiculous
Ohio State should not be ranked. Coming into the season I knew we were overrated and I still think we are. Until we start beating ranked teams, take us out!
Ohio State's band SLAUGHTERED Michigan's band. If this were a football game, it would have been Florida State vs. Savannah State. - SB Nation following OSU vs. UM 2012
You can make a case for our current ranking, but if a particular voter had us totally unranked, there would be evidence to support that also. Truth is, we've done nothing this season that's worthy of being thought of as top 25. It's a reputation ranking completely.
Of course, we can change all that these next 3 games ... or confirm it.
The most "loud mouth, disrespect" poster on 11W.
Lets not act as if every loss was exactly like the one against illinois. That was just a bad game all around. It happens to every team from time to time.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
They will end up being a 6 to 8 seed in the NCAA Tourney and lose by the Sweet 16
