They beat Texas when Texas was #1 at the time, and they beat a good ranked Illinois team recently.
They're playing very well right now, and until someone shows that they can be more dominating, tOSU belongs up there at #1.
They should basically sweep the rest of their schedule, although Michigan may give them some trouble.
They've earned it

- How does OSU keep the #1 rank. Their schedule is trash. Play nobody and stay #1. Kind of undermines - DiscoRick - 8:08am 10/28/25

- Do you think maybe they’re the reigning champs who haven’t been beaten has - jimbasil - 8:22am 10/28/25
- Sure I'll address it. ND has at least played some tough teams. Miami, Texas A&M, USC. - DiscoRick - 8:57am 10/28/25
- And are the reigning champs. So they play a soft schedule as will ND - jimbasil - 9:45am 10/28/25
- If it's an eye test then OSU should get an incomplete. - DiscoRick - 9:55am 10/28/25
- And lost 2 out of 3. Thus they dug their own hole to start and fell behind early. Just imagine - whatsamataU - 9:31am 10/28/25
