FiveThirtyEight once again updates Ohio State and other contenders’ playoff chances after fourth CFP Rankings

It’s time to take an updated look once again at the College Football Playoff predictions and odds from our friends at FiveThirty Eight. How have things changed after the fourth CFP Rankings?

The list of contenders to make the College Football Playoff is starting to whittle down. In all reality, there are realistically just eight teams that have a shot to get into all the fun, and Ohio State is one of them.

Twice a week, we take a look at the FiveThirtyEight Playoff Predictor to see who has the best shot at making the final four teams that will play for a place in college football history. We do it after each round of games, and also after the CFP Rankings come out on the following Tuesday because that too changes the odds.

In the case of Ohio State, it has been fairly stable with a slight increase almost every time as it continues to win. But what about the other teams in the mix?

Here is how things stand after the fourth College Football Rankings were unveiled on Tuesday evening.
