2023 Week 9 Ohio State Buckeyes Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
311polo 1
70stang 1 Ohio State is the only undefeated team in the nation with multiple ranked wins. Welcome to the number one spot, in Tier 1, the "Playoff Tier." This tier is composed of any team that is undefeated with at least one ranked win. Ohio State is the only team in this tier with an FCS opponent played so far, but they are also the only undefeated team with two ranked wins as per my poll last week. The FCS win counts against them, but not as much as having an additional ranked win boosts them over the competition in this tier. Ohio State has 5 P5 wins, including 2 Ranked wins over Notre Dame and Penn State, as well as 1 G5 win and 1 FCS win to be 7-0.

jthomas694 1 I believe there are two tiers of CFP contenders at this point. Tier one is Ohio State, Florida State, Oklahoma, Washington, Michigan and Georgia. Ohio State sits in the top spot this week as they have wins over Penn State and on the road at Notre Dame. They are number one in terms of strength of record.

People are starting to realize what folks in the Big 12 learned a few years back: Jim Knowles' halftime adjustments are darn near unbeatable. I think people are still sleeping on their defense, and the defense may be what pushes them to #1 in my poll soon.

JetoGrov 1 Overcoming their second big test of the year lands the Buckeyes as the number one team in this week's rankings. Wins over Penn State and Notre Dame are a better collection than anyone has this season, and whispers of *silver bullets* have people in Columbus dreaming the annual dream. MHJr is very very very good at football.

FlashSpider-man 2 Beat a good Penn State team. Whether they were good wins or not, they've beaten multiple highly ranked teams. Due to Georgia not dominating their opponents. OSU jumps to 2. If them and Michigan take care of business (Michjgan still has PSU as the only challenge, though anything can happen), the Game could legit be 1 v 2, which would be really fun.

sleemoislife 3 Movement: +2 Reasoning: OSU emerges from another top game with a win, this time at home. In a defensive battle in Columbus, OSU's defense continued to prove it's worth, holding PSU to only 12 points including a late TD. Due to their impressive wins against Notre Dame and now PSU, I have this team at no. 3 in the country. Day and OSU continue to dispel the narrative of softness in their program, with OSU leaning on a staunch defense to win this critical matchup. Michigan still has to play PSU on the road, but it is looking like the OSU - U of M game to close the year will again have major conference and playoff implications as OSU will likely be able to coast to that point.

CallingUagoatUgoat 4 1 SP+ T-10 win (Notre Dame). 1 SP+ T-25 win (Penn State). Oklahoma has a slight edge after Week 8 - partially because Penn State fell out of the SP+ T-10 and partially because Ohio State played an FCS team whereas OU played FBS teams in its non-conference slate.
