Ohio State, Oregon take over top spots in ESPN’s power rankings after Week 6
Published:
Ohio State and Oregon own the top spots in ESPN’s updated power rankings entering Week 7.
There was a major shakeup at the top this week with Alabama and Tennessee going down in stunning fashion over the weekend. That cleared the way for a pair of Big Ten teams to take the top spots in ESPN’s power rankings.
As luck would have it, Ohio State and Oregon are set to face off against each other in Eugene this weekend. OSU is a 3.5-point road favorite against the Ducks in Week 7, per the latest lines from DraftKings.
Ohio State claimed the top spot after beating up on Iowa over the weekend. For the Buckeyes, it was their second consecutive blowout win over a Big Ten opponent. They also took care of business against Michigan State the week before.
Oregon has yet to play its best game so far this season, but the Ducks will have a big opportunity to make a statement on Saturday against Ohio State in front of their home crowd. Despite not playing well in every game to start the year, Oregon does enter Week 7 with an undefeated record.
Texas, who nabbed the top spot in the AP Top 25 for this week, is No. 3 in ESPN’s power rankings following Week 6.
Kickoff from Eugene is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
