Where did Ohio State football finish in USA TODAY’s final re-rank of college football teams?

USA TODAY finished up its final college football re-rank that it has done throughout the season. Where did Ohio State end up?

There are polls, and then there are opinions. Count the USA TODAY weekly re-rank by Paul Myerberg as the latter, but we followed it all season because it seemed to make more sense of the actual results on the field. Myerberg often had Ohio State at No. 1 because all the metrics and on-field results justified the means. It wasn’t simply a preseason expectation rolled through the assembly line.

So, now that the season is over and LSU has been crowned king of the college football world, where did Myerberg put Ohio State in his last and final re-rank? Probably about where you, your significant other, and cousin all expect. The Buckeyes finish the season at No. 3 behind LSU and Clemson (DISCLAIMER: No officials were harmed in the making of this article).

So which teams round out the top ten? Georgia somehow ended up at No. 4 (SighEC), Oregon checked in at No. 5, while the rest went Oklahoma (6), Alabama (7), Penn State (8), Baylor (9), and Florida (10).

So, there you have it. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Ohio State is the consensus No. 3 team in the country whether it be the traditional polls or by way of some of the opinion-makers out there. And it makes sense. Although I’ll go to my grave believing the Buckeyes were better than Clemson, they still lost. And yeah, LSU looked fantastic against those Tigers that beat the Buckeyes.

Now, let’s go get it done next year eh OSU?
