With one more game to go in a strange 2020 season, Ohio State is holding on to the top four in the ESPN Power Rankings, even with the missed Michigan game.
A convincing win against Northwestern should keep the Buckeyes in the top four, however, Texas A&M is breathing down their necks — albeit without a conference championship game to play. The top five remained unchanged, and this weekend might have a huge mix up by the end.
With Clemson and Notre Dame facing off again in the ACC Championship, the winner is likely to stay in the top three. If Clemson loses it will likely fall out of the top five with a second loss. A win by the Tigers might just flip the two teams, depending on how the game looks. Alabama will play a sneaky Florida team for SEC dominance. The Gators’ loss to LSU dropped them in the polls this week, however.
