Ralph Russo reports that a problem where Ohio State was left off one ballot has been fixed. No rankings changed, but total points were adjusted for several teams. Ohio State gained 21 points while the following teams lost one point each: Oregon, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Michigan, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Mississippi, Wake Forest, BYU, UTSA, Auburn, Houston, Baylor, Iowa, Wisconsin, NC State, Penn State, Louisiana, Pittsburgh, Kentucky, and Mississippi State (for a different reason). The correction was made on the AP website Sunday night, but others (ESPN, USA Today, etc.) still had the old point totals as of Tuesday (11/9).
