We’re getting down to the wire of the 2021 college football season, and once again, Ohio State is firmly in the mix. The Buckeyes are really the only team that’s been in contention down the stretch of each and every year the College Football Playoff has been in place. And so it is again.

We have the same questions, so we keep tabs on the folks over at over FiveThirtyEight to see what their analytics say about every team that has a shot at the CFP. We kick the tires twice a week these days — once after the weekend’s games, and again after the CFP Rankings are unveiled midweek.
Here we are now two days removed from the third release of the College Football Playoff Rankings, one in which Ohio State remained at No. 4, so we’re at it again.
