Ohio State may have lost vs. Michigan for the second straight year under Ryan Day, but the Buckeyes got a bit of a win with where they fell in the latest College Football Playoff rankings.
To be fair, OSU needs some help, but not all is lost and there’s still a chance to get into the College Football Playoff with just one result. That’s because Ohio State fell only to No. 5, just one spot away from the final four teams, ready to pounce and move up should the USC Trojans lose this coming Friday in Las Vegas. Alternatively, if TCU stumbles in the Big 12 Championship game, that could also open the door, but with a thinner margin perhaps.
