It’s official. Ohio State is still No. 1 in the second-to-last CFP rankings.
The Ohio State Buckeyes, going into the week of conference championship games, have retained the No. 1 spot in the CFP rankings.
Ohio State, LSU, Clemson, and Georgia round out the top four. However, teams like Utah and Oklahoma, who were No. 5 and 6, still have a chance to win their conference championship and get in the top four.
Baylor, Wisconsin, Florida, and Penn State round out 7-10. That said, did you notice that Alabama, with its second loss of the season to Auburn this past weekend, has dropped out of the top ten?
Overall, Ohio State will take on Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game, and they should virtually be a lock for the College Football Playoffs regardless of Saturday’s outcome.
Their entire body of work has been unmatched. They’ve defeated Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin, taking down the latter two by 20-plus. This Ohio State has just been absolutely dominant this season.
They’ll currently be facing No. 4 Georgia if the playoffs started today. However, if Georgia loses to LSU in the SEC Championship, Utah or Oklahoma, with a win, will likely get in.
