Ohio State

Collegian Staff Writer
For the last three months, Ohio
State has ruled the college football
world.
Back in August, the Buckeyes
were anointed the No. 1 team in
both the Associated Press and
ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls.

seven games unscathed.
Suddenly, though, Ohio State’s
No. 1 rankings have taken on hol
low significance.
Monday, the first-ever Bowl
Championship Series standings
were unveiled.
