Ryan Day and Ohio State get the respect it already earned in latest Top 25 AP Poll entering Week 2

Led by an elite defense and cast of new offensive playmakers, Ohio State turned back the clock to the Jim Tressel era in Week 1. It wasn't pretty since Julian Sayin and his Buckeye offense seemed to leave some opportunities on the field, but the freshman passer did enough to manage the win.

Now, the Buckeyes will play a slew of easy games until mid-October when they travel to No. 11 Illinois. In the meantime, the Nittany Lions stayed at No. 2, and Texas fell to seventh, which seems overly harsh given they lost to the defending champions on the road.
