The votes are in, and Ohio State’s performance against Toledo was apparently bad enough that they dropped a spot or two in each respective poll, coming in 17th in the AP top 25 and 16th in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
Ohio State survived a scare from Toledo, who was much better than the masses thought they would be. The Rockets had a chance to take a lead late in the game but they were denied by the Buckeyes, despite leading 22-21 earlier in the contest.
The Buckeyes will be in action again next Saturday night against the Miami Hurricanes in prime time.
