Ohio State postponed another game.

After a quick return to non-conference play Tuesday, blowing out IUPUI in historic fashion, the Buckeyes' home contest against Nebraska scheduled for Saturday was canceled due to COVID-19 problems in the Cornhuskers' program.

While this matchup is only postponed and no outright canceled, like the Buckeyes' games against Kentucky, Tennessee Martin and New Orleans, Ohio State still has to wait and see as it faces more adversity from its 2021-22 schedule.

After only one game against the Jaguars, Ohio State moved up three spots to No. 16 in the latest AP Poll.

The Buckeyes are one of five teams in the latest Top-25, including No. 6 Purdue, which the Buckeyes will face Sunday in West Lafayette, No. 10 Michigan State, No. 11 Wisconsin and No. 24 Illinois.

Ohio State is scheduled to face both Minnesota and the Boilermakers on the road this week.

Here's a look at the full poll.
