Ohio State's rankings in both the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll are unchanged.
The Buckeyes stayed at third place in the AP Top 25 and fourth place in the USA Today Amway Coaches Poll.
Despite looking impressive in a 38-7 win over Wisconsin, the Buckeyes stayed put in the rankings.
That said, Ohio State is now just eight points behind LSU – the new No. 1 – in the AP poll. The Buckeyes received the same number of first-place votes in the Coaches Poll, eight out of 65, as they did last week.
