Kirk Herbstreit isn't quite sold on Ohio State just yet as his latest rankings reveal concerns about Buckeyes

What does it take to earn a consensus No. 1 overall ranking if you're the Ohio State Buckeyes? Apparently, even having an alumnus working for ESPN does Ryan Day and his Buckeyes no favors. While Kirk Herbstreit shouldn't shill for Ohio State, he's seemingly antagonized the program over recent years.

On Monday, Herbstreit dropped his own personal top five rankings as college football enters Week 4. While the Buckeyes are 3-0, boast one of the most efficient and explosive passing games in the nation, the 29th-best scoring offense and second-best scoring defense, and have a win against Texas, they weren't the No. 1 team on his list.

Kirk Herbstreit Shares Doubt About Ohio State Entering Week 4

Not only did Ohio State not rank No. 1, but the Penn State Nittany Lions and LSU Tigers somehow jumped them in Herbstreit's rankings. Penn State has three unimpressive wins so far, and LSU's offense has been sandbagging arguably the nation's most improved defense.
