COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State is No. 1 and some Buckeyes fans are probably feeling torn. Being No. 1, is that good or bad?

On one hand, who wouldn’t want their favorite team acclaimed as the best in the land? But, then again, things haven’t turned out so well recently when the Buckeyes were leaders of the pack.

The Buckeyes (6-0), ranked second all season to Alabama, took advantage of the Crimson Tide’s 35-21 loss at South Carolina to ascend to the top spot in the latest Associated Press rankings released Sunday.

Being ranked high is nothing new at Ohio State. The Buckeyes have finished in the AP’s top 10 in seven of the last eight seasons.

But recent high-profile failures have hurt their reputation and given some fans Buckeye fatigue.
