The Buckeyes will enter October ranked 2nd nationally.

Four of the nine remaining regular season opponents are currently ranked in the top 16. Alabama is atop the poll again, with only Tennessee and Texas A&M being sure bets for ranked opponents remaining on its schedule. No.4 Louisville travels to No.3 Clemson this week and No.7 Houston on Chickenshit Saturday

There are 16 unblemished teams in this week's ranking. Still plenty of football to be played.
