0

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State has risen to No. 2 in both the Associated Press and USA Today coaches polls after a stunning week 6 of the 2024 college football season.

Ohio State (5-0, 2-0) secured a 35-7 victory over Iowa on Saturday. The Buckeyes took a 7-0 halftime lead into an explosive third quarter, scoring 14 points in the span of less than two minutes to take full control of the contest. 

Meanwhile, the previously-ranked No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide fell 40-35 to Vanderbilt. The loss means the Crimson Tide has fallen to No. 7 in both polls, while the Commodores remain unranked. Texas is still in the top spot, while Georgia is still in fifth in the AP poll and Penn State shifted from No. 7 to the fourth spot.

Oregon rose from No. 6 to third, meaning the No. 3 team will be taking on the now-No. 2 Buckeyes this coming weekend. The matchup at Autzen Stadium on Saturday is set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on NBC4
