Ohio State remained steady at No. 3 in the latest Associated Press Top-25 poll that was released on Sunday, just one day after the Buckeyes defeated Indiana, 49-26.
The No. 3 ranking is the highest the Buckeyes have been this season. They remain behind Alabama and Georgia. After last week's one-point win against Penn State, they jumped over Clemson from the fourth spot to No. 3.
Ohio State has a single first-place vote, just as it had last week.
No. 8 Penn State, No. 12 Michigan and No. 15 Wisconsin join the Buckeyes in the top 25. Michigan State dropped out of the rankings.
