The latest Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports is out and you have to scroll pretty far down to find Ohio State. So far down, in fact, that the Buckeyes are the very last team to be ranked in the poll, all the way down to No. 25.
It’s been a continual and steady decline down the rankings for the Buckeyes after limping on one leg and two hands tied behind their back over the last couple of weeks. OSU has gone from contending for a regular-season Big Ten title to becoming the No. 6 seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
Other teams fared much better, especially in the top ten that consists of Gonzaga (1), Arizona (2), Baylor (3), Auburn (4), Kentucky (5), Kansas (6), Duke (7), Villanova (8), Purdue (9), and Providence (10).
Ohio State will next be in action on Friday when it takes on the winner of Minnesota and Penn State in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament.
