Ohio State kept the No. 1 spot after a 56-3 opening win and will face Texas in a top-five showdown Saturday night.

  • Ohio State maintained its No. 1 ranking in the AP poll released Tuesday afternoon. The top-ranked Buckeyes now prepare for a heavyweight matchup at Texas on Saturday.
  • Ball State fell to the Buckeyes 56-3 last Saturday in the season opener. Ohio State now looks ahead to face Texas, seeking to extend its dominance.

  • Texas enters as a 1.5-point favorite and seeks its first win over Ohio State since 2008. Victory would serve as a pivotal litmus test for conference supremacy and College Football Playoff seeding.
