Ohio State stays at No. 2 in NFF Super 16 College Football Poll

Ohio State remains steady in the latest release of the NFF Super 16 College Football Poll.

Ohio State football has hit the trifecta. It is now confirmed as the No. 2 team in college football in the AP, Amway Coaches, and now the NFF Super 16 College Football Poll to end the regular season.

The only team ahead of the Buckeyes continues to be the LSU Tigers who have put together an impressive resume. Clemson, Georgia and Utah round out the top five. Following them are Oklahoma (6), Baylor (7), Alabama (8), Florida (9) and Wisconsin (10).

Like the other polls, the Buckeyes did narrow the gap a bit after their impressive showing on the road at Michigan, but will probably remain at No. 2 until LSU loses.

Ohio State next takes on No. 10 Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game Saturday. You can find the complete 16 team rankings in the graphic below.

Now we await the College Football Playoff Committee’s penultimate rankings set to be released on Tuesday.

NFF Super 16 poll is out. Ohio State loses first place votes to LSU

The latest NFF Super 16 College Football Poll is out. Ohio State moved up, but it lost almost all of its first place votes to LSU.

The new NFF Super 16 College Football Poll is out and Ohio State has risen one more spot, and now sits just one place below the top at No. 2.

As with most other polls, LSU has secured the overall No. 1 ranking by way of its win over Alabama in Tuscaloosa over the weekend. The Tigers have put together more top-end wins than anyone else in the country, and it has been enough to be an almost unanimous choice across the major polls.

Also of note, Ohio State has lost almost all of its first place votes to LSU. It has gone from receiving 11 in the last release to just 3 in this one. Again, it’s hard to argue why, but all the metrics seem to feel Ohio State is still the clear No. 1 team in the country. It’s all really about the resume for LSU.

But, it is a good one, and it’ll all sort itself out as the last few games of the year take place. If you’re Ohio State, all you need to do is keep winning and finish in the top four of the College Football Playoff Rankings.

The next release of the CFP Rankings comes out Tuesday. Don’t be surprised if the Buckeyes fall from No. 1 to No. 2 in that one because of same reason.
