Urban Meyer Rips Ohio State's No. 7 Ranking: 'That's a Joke'

Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer blasted the Buckeyes' No. 7 AP ranking as "a joke," saying OSU should be a top‑three team.
Ohio State opened No. 1 but famously blew a 20‑point lead and lost 24‑23 at Texas, a collapse that helped trigger the poll slide.
Offense still gaudy (QB Julian Sayin, WR Jeremiah Smith) but red‑zone and pass‑rush concerns remain — and five more ranked tests loom (Iowa, Indiana, USC, Oregon, Michigan).
