AP Top 25: Ohio State, Indiana set for top-5 showdown as Georgia rises to No. 8

2 Ohio State and No. 5 Indiana held their spots in the AP Top 25 college football poll Sunday, setting up the third top-five matchup in the Big Ten this season for the Buckeyes. Others receiving votes: Missouri 56, Memphis 38, Kansas State 36, Syracuse 21, Louisville 15, Pittsburgh 6, LSU 6, Louisiana 5, Vanderbilt 4, Colorado State 2, Duke 2, James Madison 2, Georgia Tech 1 The Buckeyes cruised past Northwestern on Saturday and the Hoosiers were off, leading into Indiana’s biggest regular-season game ever. This will be Ohio State’s 46th top-five matchup all-time — including bowls and conference title games — four fewer than Oklahoma for the most. I’ve been a bit lower on Notre Dame than most for much of the season — the Irish have been dominant lately, but the NIU loss still holds them back in my eyes — and thus my top nine spots are all taken up by the Big Ten and SEC after BYU’s loss to Kansas, with the Irish 10th.
