crownebeach 2 I have some doubts about the offense after Marshall was able to move the ball on Notre Dame fairly steadily, but my opinion of the defense is unchanged based on common opponent (Marshall's defense is quite good). Still no serious concerns.

MWiatrak2077 2 As per my last ranking, OSU has usurped the #2 slot from Alabama, - mostly due to circumstances outside their influence. However, a 45-12 beatdown on Arkansas State is certainly a good way to impress most people. C.J. Stroud still appears to be shaking off rust, as he started sloppy and OSU only lead 17-9 with 5:22 left in the second quarter. However, Stroud followed it up with a resounding second half, finishing the game with 4 touchdown passes, 351 yards, on 16-24 passing. Aside some September rust, OSU looks like their same old dominant selves, and in two games, they have only allowed 3 second-half points, - a noted strength of Jim Knowles' defense in the other OSU was half-time adjustments, and it appears to be true in Columbus, too.

nw____ 2 This ranking is still more about what I think they *can* be than what they are. Their best win looks a lot worse now, probably (I know, I know, it's only week 2). Still, the defense looks much, much better and the offense will be just fine.

Our-Gardian-Angel 2 Perhaps the declarations of Ohio State's defense being back were premature given how bad Notre Dame looked against Marshall, but the unit still looks improved already from last year. (Week 2: Ohio State 45, Arkansas State 12; Record: 2-0)

ShamusJohnson13 3 I really want this team to play a quality opponent soon, but that tough sledding against Notre Dame looks worse for them now. I still think this team is massively overrated this season, but they keep doing what they need to do. I'll probably have to eat crow for that.

Dawg-Bite 2 Win over ND doesn’t look great anymore but I can’t see why anyone besides UGA should be ranked ahead of them now. Bama shoulda lost and Michigan hasn’t played a decent team yet. I still don’t feel like Ohio State deserves this spot tho

Due_Connection179 2 This was another tough decision to keep tOSU at #2. The close win at home over Notre Dame looks shaky now and beating Arkansas State isn't going to win them any points.
