Ohio State remained in the same spot it was last week when the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll came out. Despite a ton of results from conference championship weekend, OSU remained No. 7 behind Alabama (1), Michigan (2), Georgia (3), Cincinnati (4), Notre Dame (5), and Baylor (6). Rounding out the top ten are Ole Miss (8), Oklahoma State (9). and Michigan State (10).
The rankings mirrored the final College Football Rankings for the most part, but Ohio State and Baylor were flipped in those rankings, with OSU checking in at No. 6.
The Pac-12 Championship Game produced the biggest movers in this week's USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, with Utah moving to just outside the top 10.

And while the Buckeyes missed out on making the College Football Playoff, it will still be headed to a New Year’s Six bowl game, traveling to the Rose Bowl to face Utah in Pasadena, California on January 1. With a good showing there, OSU could once again finish the season in the top five.
