Ohio State beat Michigan 30-27 in double overtime on Saturday in one of the most exciting and thrilling editions of The Game's 113-year history.

The win and victory by Alabama against Auburn in the Iron Bowl kept the top two teams in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll the same as a week earlier. The Crimson Tide is No. 1 while the Buckeyes are No. 2. Clemson is No. 3 and Washington is No. 4.

Michigan dropped from No. 4 to No. 6 after its loss in Ohio Stadium. Big Ten West champion Wisconsin is up one spot to No. 5.

The No. 5 Badgers play No. 8 Penn State for the Big Ten crown on Saturday night in Indianapolis.

Iowa returned to the poll at No. 25 to give the Big Ten six teams in the rankings.
