Should Ohio State still be ranked at the top of the CFP Rankings this week?

Both Ohio State and LSU will have a case to make when it comes to being ranked No. 1 in the next College Football Playoff Rankings.

Let’s discuss LSU

LSU currently has the most wins against top 25 teams and Ohio State is right behind them at three. The wins alone and an undefeated record speaks for itself. However, the aspect of not having a dominant defense would be a factor the committee will deliberate on when it comes to being a complete team. While LSU does have a great resume they do show weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball.

There is no denying that. The defense can’t hold its own water when comparing it against the Buckeyes.

Then there’s the current state of things for LSU. Ohio State is currently already sitting in the catbird seat and the committee might be hesitant to knock it off that perch without a loss or close win.

Still, it’s supposed to be a start-from-scratch affair when the committee comes together, so that win over Alabama is a pretty big feather in the Bayou Tigers’ cap when you look at this new body of work.
