SALT LAKE CITY — Ohio State has held the No. 1 spot in the KSL.com Top 25 Fall Poll for the last two weeks, and has maintained its spot for a third week, though the Buckeyes' spot holds a narrow margin.

Ohio State beat out No. 2 Georgia by 1 point this week but had one fewer first-place vote with 54. Georgia pulled in 55 first-place votes and is the favorite to top the Buckeyes with a 7-0 record. Rounding out the top five teams this week is No. 3 Tennessee, which earned 11 first-place votes, No. 4 Michigan (3) and No. 5 Clemson.
