    Ohio State fell in the polls after losing at Oregon on Saturday night.

    In the aftermath of the 32-31 defeat , the Buckeyes dropped two spots to No. 4 in the Associated Press poll and another spot to No. 5 in the US LBM coaches poll .

    It’s the lowest they have been ranked since they ended last season at No. 10 in both major top-25 polls following a loss in the Cotton Bowl.

    The Buckeyes had been ranked either No. 2 or No. 3 through the first six weeks of this season, trailing only unbeaten teams from the Southeastern Conference. After Vanderbilt upset Alabama last week, they had moved up to No. 2 .

    Texas remains atop both poll, followed by Oregon at No. 2 and Penn State at No. 3. All three are 6-0.

    The Buckeyes are then flip-flopped with Georgia in the polls. They remain ahead of the Bulldogs in the AP poll, but are behind them in the coaches poll. Both are 5-1 overall.

    Here's how Week 7's results in the Big 12 were reflected in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 poll:
