Ohio State moves to No. 3 in AP poll after win over Penn State
Ohio State’s comeback win over Penn State was good enough for a jump in the AP poll.
The Buckeyes moved up to No. 3 from No. 4 in the post-Week 5 poll after beating the Nittany Lions 27-26 in State College. Ohio State moved ahead of Clemson, which fell back to No. 4 after needing a late fourth-quarter touchdown to beat Syracuse at home after quarterback Trevor Lawrence left the game with a possible concussion.
Stanford fell from No. 7 to No. 14 after losing 38-17 at Notre Dame. The Irish moved up two spots to No. 6 ahead of Oklahoma, which dispatched Baylor easily. West Virginia jumped from No. 12 to No. 9 after beating Texas Tech on the road.
Kentucky is now at No. 13 after beating South Carolina at home. The Wildcats can go to 6-0 for the first time since 1950 with a win over Texas A&M on Saturday.
Florida jumped into the AP poll at No. 22 after winning on the road at Mississippi State. That means the Gators’ game against LSU in Week 6 will be a matchup of ranked teams. The full poll is below.
