Ohio State has started to roll.
Winning five of its past six games, including an 83-79 victory against Penn State on Wednesday, the Buckeyes are up to No. 13 in the Associated Press top-25 poll and have a chance to rise even further if they cap off the week by beating Michigan State on Sunday in the Schottenstein Center.
Their two 2021 signees (Malaki Branham, Kalen Etzler) and three 2022 commits (Roddy Gayle, Bruce Thornton, Bowen Hardman) have also spent the past month or two getting their seasons underway.
