Reign On Spotlight Player of the Week: Jordan Cameron
November 17, 2013NFL: Browns Phil Taylor takes hysterical dive trying to draw penalty
November 17, 2013The Ohio Buckeyes, who won their 22nd consecutive game with Saturday afternoon’s 60-35 victory over Illinois, dropped to No. 4 in the newly released AP Poll on Sunday morning. Media darling Baylor jumped the Buckeyes into the No. 3 spot following a 63-34 rout of Texas Tech. The Bears finished with 1,351 points. Ohio State checked in with 1,343.
If there is any silver lining for Urban Meyer and Ohio State fans, the AP Poll carries no weight in the BCS Rankings, and the Coaches’ Poll—which does factor in—continues to have the Buckeyes at No. 3 heading into Week 13.
Ohio State will play Indiana next week before heading to The Big House to take on the Michigan Wolverines. Assuming positive outcomes in both contests, the Buckeyes will head to the Big Ten Championship game where they will likely square off against the Michigan State Spartans.

Almost the same score and they drop? Wow.
What a joke. Can’t wait to thump them in rise bowl.
The rise bowl? never heard of that one. Guess they don’t teach spelling at OSwho?
Ohio State gets what it gets for playing such a weak schedule, but getting jumped by Baylor? They have one quality win, that over an Oklahoma team that lost to Texas.
The playoff system can’t come too soon.
The crazy thing is that could be a mess too. The top 4 teams play each other, what do they do when there are 10 teams with 1 loss or undefeated?
Go to an 8 team playoff, and eventually to a 16 team playoff.
