Former Memphis guard Curtis Givens III commits to Ohio State.
The voters in the Coaches and AP Polls took notice of Ohio State's impressive 56-7 annihilation of then-No. 7 Michigan State yesterday in the Shoe.
With the Buckeyes dominating and previous-No. 3 Oregon getting smashed by Utah, Ryan Day's squad moved up to No. 2 in the latest AP Poll and No. 3 in the Coaches Poll.
Ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against Michigan in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines also moved up to No. 6 in both polls.
The top six in each poll look like this:
- Coaches: Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Michigan
- AP: Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, Michigan
