The Buckeyes are climbing the rankings.

Following wins over Nebraska and Michigan this week, Ohio State checks in at No. 19 in the latest AP Poll, up from No. 23 last week.

This marks the third-straight week the Buckeyes have cracked the AP top-25 after falling from the poll last month. Ohio State is currently riding a streak of eight wins in 10 games, with three of those wins coming against teams ranked in the current AP top-25.

The Buckeyes have two regular-season games remaining, both of which are against ranked opponents. Ohio State hosts No. 23 Illinois on Thursday and finishes the season with a road matchup against No. 16 Michigan State on Sunday.
