Cincinnati and Cleveland both have decently-sized populations and there are enough smaller cities like Columbus and (ugh) Youngstown to add to that.
Remember that the reason Illinois doesn't fit that map is mostly due to Chicago.
Columbus population is larger than Cincinnati or Cleveland. Not sure why you think it's smaller.
Cleveland-Akron-Canton metropolitan statistical area is 3.7 million, Columbus metro stat area is 2.1 million. Cleveland proper is only 362K while Columbus proper is 913K. Direct size comparisons of "cities" almost always are dependent upon arbitrary border definitions.
