Ohio State didn't move in the rankings after splitting two games this week.
In the last Associated Press top-25 poll before Selection Sunday, which is six days away, the Buckeyes remained at No. 19.
They beat Illinois at home and lost to Michigan State on the road this week to finish their roller coaster of a regular season with a 21-10 overall record and an 11-9 mark in the Big Ten. They've now appeared in the AP poll for five straight weeks after falling out in January.
Five other Big Ten teams are in the top-25: No. 9 Michigan State, No. 12 Maryland, No. 18 Wisconsin, No. 21 Illinois and No. 25 Iowa.
Ohio State will begin its run in the postseason as a No. 7 seed in the second round of the Big Ten tournament when it faces 10th-seeded Purdue on Thursday. The game tips off at 6:30 p.m. in Indianapolis.
