COLUMBUS – The Buckeyes remained at the top of the major college football polls after a week off, which saw the temporary loss of their starting quarterback.
Ohio State (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) suspended quarterback J.T. Barrett for this week’s game against Minnesota (8:00 p.m./ABC) for being cited for operating a vehicle while impaired early Saturday morning.
There was little change in the poll with five of top 10 teams having an open date.
Baylor, Clemson, LSU and TCU were all ranked in the top five in both polls, with Clemson holding the No. 3 spot in the AP poll and TCU at No. 5. The two swapped spots in the coaches’ poll.
The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season will be released Tuesday night.
