Ohio State Surges to No. 2

Buckeyes leapfrog Alabama and Cincinnati after rout of Michigan State.

By Doug Segrest | November 22, 2021

Ohio State had something to prove. And prove, the Buckeyes did. In a Big Ten showdown Saturday, Ohio State obliterated Michigan State 56-7 – shaking up the latest AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank.

Ohio State leapfrogged Alabama and Cincinnati to the No. 2 spot behind unanimous No. 1 choice Georgia.

Meanwhile, once-beaten Alabama remained ahead of the undefeated Bearcats by surviving Arkansas 42-35. Cincy, in turn, recorded its most impressive victory since an early-season domination of Notre Dame, bouncing SMU 48-14.

Poll Points
Michigan State was one of two teams ranked in the top 10 last week to get blown out Saturday.
The Spartans dropped five spots to 12th after losing to Ohio State, and Oregon fell from fourth to 11th after getting pounded 38-7 by Utah. The Utes moved up eight spots to No. 16.
The last time two top-10 teams lost by 30 or more points on the same day was Sept. 22, 1984, when No. 15 Florida State beat No. 4 Miami 38-3 and No. 1 Nebraska beat No. 8 UCLA 42-3.
For the first time this season, no teams fell out of the rankings.
Four ranked teams lost in total, with Wake Forest and Arkansas joining Oregon and Michigan State. The Demon Deacons were the only ranked team to lose to an unranked team. Wake’s lopsided loss at Clemson dropped the Deacs eight spots to No. 21.
No. 25 Arkansas fell four spots after losing at Alabama by a touchdown, narrowly keeping Clemson from returning to the Top 25 for the first time since the last weekend of September. The Razorbacks received 105 points to Clemson’s 101.
