    No. 2 Ohio State’s matchup with No. 3 Oregon was the marquee event of Week 7 of the 2024 college football season , a game with significant Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff ramifications.

    In the short term, it had a noticeable effect on the national polls.

    The Ducks' thrilling 32-31 victory against the Buckeyes reshuffled the top five of the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, keeping coach Dan Lanning's team among the top squads in the country while dropping Ryan Day and Ohio State a few spots.

    It wasn’t the only notable result from an action-packed day for the conference. Penn State rode tight end Tyler Warren to a 33-30 overtime win at USC. Illinois survived a scare from Purdue and held off the Boilermakers in a 50-49 victory.

    Here’s a look at how this past week’s results in the Big Ten were reflected in the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, both of which were released Sunday:
