We knew Ohio State would drop in the polls following the Buckeyes' loss to Penn State Saturday night and the USA Today Coaches Poll is the first to tell us just how far the fall would be.
Ohio State checks in at No. 8 this week, down from the No. 2 position they've held in the Coaches Poll since throttling Oklahoma in week three. Ahead of the Buckeyes are No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Clemson, No. 4 Washington, No. 5 Louisville and Nebraska and Baylor, who are tied for No. 6 in the poll.
