AP Top 25: Where is Ohio State football on Nathan Baird’s Week 11 ballot? College rankings

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State soccer ought to nonetheless obtain a batch of No. 1 votes on this week’s Related Press High 25 ballot, however mine just isn’t one among them.

I’m again amongst these voting for Georgia after it beat Tennessee 27-14 on Saturday. Nevertheless you select to rank the “most spectacular” or “finest” wins of the season, the Bulldogs now have two of them. Saturday they turned the primary opponent to actually seal off Hendon Hooker and the Volunteers’ offense. In addition they opened the season with that 49-3 walloping of Oregon that appears higher and higher because the Geese preserve profitable.

Ohio State’s resume is bettering, too, no matter that bizarre, underwhelming win at Northwestern. Notre Dame most likely turned itself right into a zombie “ranked” win for OSU within the eyes of the playoff choice committee with its victory over Clemson. Wisconsin, whereas nonetheless solely 5-4, has regained some worth by way of numerous metrics.

None of OSU’s wins, although, rise to the extent of Georgia’s finest two wins.

Losses by Clemson and Alabama additionally enhance the prospect that the loser of The Recreation may nonetheless again door into the playoff. TCU nonetheless performs Texas, Baylor and Iowa State and will conceivably lose all or any of these. Both Ohio State or Michigan may find yourself with essentially the most engaging one-loss resume.
