Even with a second-straight victory by more than 40 points, Ohio State stays put at No. 6 in the Amway Coaches Poll.
The lack of movement could be said for the entirety of the top 10, with the first change in the poll coming with Utah moving up one spot to No. 11.
But the movements in the lower part of the poll did come at the expense of some Big Ten teams. Penn State dropped a spot to No. 12 following its narrow victory against Pitt, and both Michigan State and Maryland dropped out of the poll after brutal losses to Arizona State and Temple, respectively.
The drop outs left only five teams from the conference in the Top 25: No. 6 Ohio State, No. 10 Michigan, No. 12 Penn State, No. 14 Wisconsin and No. 18 Iowa.
