While they both won games over the weekend, Ohio State and Iowa both fell in the Associated Press’ Top-25 rankings on Tuesday, with the Hawkeyes dropping out entirely.
Iowa had come into the season ranked No. 25 in the country according to the AP, but after a less-than-convincing 24-14 win over Utah State, the Hawkeyes are now out of the ranking entirely.
As for the Buckeyes, they did take care of business in a 23-3 win over Indiana in Bloomington, but after a stagnant first half on the offensive side of the ball, and quiet performances from Marvin Harrison Jr. and Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State dropped to No. 5 in the rankings, down two spots from a week ago.
