COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer has Ohio State right where he has had it all season in the coaches' poll -- at No. 2 -- but at least one player thinks the coach is selling the Buckeyes short.

"I'm a little biased," wide receiver Evan Spencer told reporters Monday. "I think we'd wipe the field with both of them."

"Them" would be unbeaten Alabama and Florida State, who are 1-2 in this week's BCS standings.

Later, Spencer took to Twitter to apologize for his bravado.

I did not mean to disrespect any FB team today. I am confident in my team, and as is evident in the video, I was having fun ... — Evan Spencer (@LiLSpencee) November 12, 2013

...with the media answering their questions. I should have chosen my words more wisely. There was no intent to disrespect any other team. — Evan Spencer (@LiLSpencee) November 12, 2013

The Buckeyes, who have won 21 games in a row, needed some help from Oregon to move up a spot in the BCS standings for the first time this season, climbing to No. 3 after the Ducks lost at Stanford on Thursday.

Meyer, however, already had his team ranked ahead of both Oregon and FSU, so the top two in the country in his opinion hasn't changed heading into Saturday's game against Illinois, which has lost 19 consecutive Big Ten games.
