Ohio State drops nine in AP Poll
COLUMBUS, OH (TheSpread) – Last week wasn’t a great one for Ohio State, and it showed in this week’s AP Top 25 poll.
The Buckeyes made the biggest fall of any team in the rankings, dropping to No. 21 in the poll after an 82-74 loss to North Carolina. Ohio State is now 9-2 on the season with both losses coming against ranked teams, as they also suffered a 64-55 loss to Louisville on Dec. 2.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Ohio State now has 50/1 odds to win the 2015 Final Four. Kentucky still remains the favorite to win it all this season at 5/4 odds, while Duke has been given 15/2 odds.
Despite the 9-2 record, Ohio State hasn’t been meeting its expectations, as the Buckeyes are 3-6-1 against the spread. They are putting up impressive offensive numbers, as they average 83.3 points per game and shoot 51.8 percent from the floor, but they still haven’t been able to perform at a high level against the elite-level teams.
