College Football Playoff rankings revealed after Week 12. Where is Ohio State ahead of Michigan game?

It’s Tuesday, and that must mean it’s time for another reveal of the updated College Football Playoff rankings. Ohio State was No. 1 through the first two sets of rankings this season, but Georgia leapfrogged the Buckeyes last week after stringing a few ranked wins in a row.

The fourth installment of the CFP rankings were revealed Tuesday night and Ohio State remained in the same spot as last week, at No. 2 behind the Bulldogs.

There was a slight flip at Nos. 4 and 5, which isn’t that big of a deal if both continue to win. Michigan (3), Washington (4), Florida State (5), Oregon (6), Texas (7), Alabama (8), Missouri (9) and Louisville (10) round out the top 10.

While the rankings were relatively constant this time in the top part, you can bet there will be a bit of a shakeup next week because of the big one between Ohio State and Michigan in the top three. There will be more changes when the conference championship games take place in a couple of weeks.

And of course, we’ll be here for all of it. Here is the complete CFP rankings.
