jthomas694 7 Previously 1st. Ohio State just lost their biggest test of the year by one point. The defense did not look championship caliber and they just didn't find a way to win the game. Iowa is the best win on the slate, but they havne't looked quite dominant enough yet.

Due_Connection179 9 Last Week #2 at #3 Oregon / Lost 31 - 32 / I really did not want to drop either team that lost in this game, but don't worry Buckeye fans, you are clearly the best 1-loss team in CFB right now and (as long as you take care of Penn State in a couple weeks) you guys will rise back to the top 5 as the ACC/Big 12 schools take each other out.

Provisional Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
BeyondLiesTheWub 1 no change - going to keep the model rankings here because yes Oregon did beat them, but it was extremely close and Oregon had home-field advantage. So you could definitely make the argument that OSU is the better team on a neutral site. I don't necessarily agree with that argument though.

throwaway_6786 5 A super-close loss on the road against the #2 team in the land makes it not such a bad drop for the Buckeyes, especially considering that they were in GW-FG range at the end before an unnecessary offensive PI from Jeremiah Smith took them out of range. The Buckeyes have been a force so far this year, but now their rankings is somewhat tethered to the Ducks, so Ohio State better hope that Oregon doesn't take a bad loss similar to Georgia watching Alabama lose to Vanderbilt.
