Ohio State’s not so pretty win Saturday against Navy swayed voters in both the AP and USA Today college football polls. Preseason ranked at number 6, the Buckeyes fell to eighth in the AP while slipping just one stop in the USA Today poll to seventh.
Florida took the top stop, as expected, gathering up 56 first place votes in both polls. Texas, USC and Alabama followed the Gators in the top spots. USC travels to Columbus on Saturday to take on OSU at The Shoe on ESPN at 8pm.
Penn State, the only other Big Ten member in the top 25, moved up in the polls – hurdling Ohio State in both instances. The Nittany Lions hold onto the no. 7 stop in the AP while Joe Pa and the guys climbed to 5 in the USA Today voting.
