Well, when you get trashed at home by an unranked team (even one that probably should be ranked), you're going to drop at least a wee bit in the polls. This week the Buckeyes check in at 18th, dropping a deserved 11 spots.
Here's the twist though: they're still ranked ahead of Virginia Tech, which makes its debut on the list this week, further cementing how hilarious it is that we put any stock in these things at all until like week six. The Big Ten, by the way, still somehow has four ranked teams.
The list is here, and here's a handy table of the full thing:
