Ohio holds the third spot despite recieving zero of the 25 first-place votes, while fourth-ranked Penn State recieved eight. The Bobcats were also ranked third in last year's preseason rankings, a season in which and went on to win the Central States Collegiate Hockey League playoff championship and reach the ACHA national semifinals before losing to Davenport.

JIM RYAN

The Trimble Tomcats are quite possibly the only high school football team in Ohio sitting at 1-2. What may be one of the more unique records in the state didn't come around by choice — the Tomcats were forced to scout Miller and Waterford, their next two opponents, last Friday night instead of making the trip south to Coal Grove due to a meningitis outbreak.
