There’s some shakeup in this week’s rankings, with Michigan State and Wisconsin’s wins having ramifications across the conference and national landscapes. Here’s how the full rankings played out:
1. No. 5 Ohio State (7-1, 5-0 B1G)
Last Ranking: 1
Last Result: W vs. No. 20 Penn State (33-24)
Next: at Nebraska
The Buckeyes put up another great display against a solid Penn State team, but if there’s one weakness to note, it’s been their red zone efficiency. Against tougher competition, Ohio State just has not been as good at getting the ball into the end zone, especially on Saturday, when the Buckeyes kicked four field goals after reaching the opponent’s 25 yard line.
