Texas Tops AP Poll; Ohio State Hoops Update

Ohio State's men's basketball team is starting the season unranked in the AP Top 25 but received 29 votes, placing them as the eighth-best team outside the rankings. Head coach Jake Diebler, now in his first full season, aims to build on last year's late-season momentum, which included a significant upset over Purdue. The Buckeyes will be led by guards Bruce Thornton and Meechie Johnson, opening their season against No. 19 Texas. Meanwhile, in college football, Texas solidified its No. 1 rank after a commanding victory over Oklahoma, receiving 56 of the 62 first-place votes. Oregon moved up to No. 2 after defeating Ohio State, while the Buckeyes dropped to fourth. Notably, Army and Navy are both ranked in the AP Top 25 simultaneously for the first time since 1960.
