Reassessing the College Football Playoff picture heading into a pivotal Week 13

Ohio State isn’t the only team still hoping to sneak into the playoff.

Heading into the final week of the regular season, the College Football Playoff picture is anything but clear.

We know the players at the top: No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Miami (Fl.), and No. 4 Oklahoma. Trailing the leaders are playoff hopefuls in No. 5 Wisconsin, No. 6 Auburn, No. 7 Georgia, No. 8 Notre Dame, and No. 9 Ohio State.

Here’s a complete look at the current playoff standings that matter (before the latest rankings are released tomorrow):


How everything plays out seems like it could be relatively straightforward.

If Alabama and Oklahoma win out as expected, they’re both in. And whoever takes home the ACC title between Miami and Clemson will easily secure a spot. That’s three of the four teams locked in.

Simple enough, right?

While this is all based on assumption, that is by far the most likely scenario. Realistically speaking, the only way chaos even enters the picture is if Alabama loses to Auburn on Saturday and/or Georgia in the SEC Championship game. The smart money isn’t on Nick Saban dropping one to either.

But what about the fourth and final team?

Well, that leaves Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Ohio State as the remaining playoff contenders.

We’ll go ahead and scratch out the Fighting Irish considering they’re a two-loss team that’s just a few weeks removed from being blown out by Miami with no conference title to fall back on.

So now we’re left with Wisconsin and Ohio State, who’ve already punched their tickets to the Big Ten Championship.


After taking care of then-No. 20 Michigan last week, the Badgers are set to finish the regular season undefeated. The Buckeyes need only to beat the Wolverines in Ann Arbor to stay in the thick of things.

The winner of the Big Ten Championship game will be rewarded with a playoff spot. Take it to the bank.

As you can see, there are still a fair amount of teams jockeying for postseason positioning. A lot could happen in the coming weeks and the standings might look completely different in another seven days.

The chaos isn’t as likely to occur as you’d think, though. I wouldn’t plan on much changing when it comes to Alabama, Oklahoma, and the ACC champ’s position in the playoff.

What will change is who joins them.

Don’t be surprised when that team is Wisconsin or – Gasp! – Ohio State.

Ohio State’s running game—and everything else— was too much for Illinois
Colton Denning via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The Buckeyes were playing on the ‘Junior Varsity’ setting on Saturday.

Conference wins don’t come much easier than that.

Ohio State dominated Illinois from the opening snap in their 52-14 win on Senior Day, sending the seniors —and a host of other players heading to the NFL— off in style, while clinching the Big Ten East crown as they head to Ann Arbor this weekend for The Game.

On this episode of The Hangout in the Holyland, Colton Denning and Patrick Mayhorn break down the Buckeyes’ easy win, and their main takeaways from the game, including:

• Being encouraged about the continued commitment to the running game, and wondering whether Mike Weber just played his final game at Ohio Stadium.
• How Parris Campbell has become the most underrated player on the team.
• J.T. Barrett throwing for his 100th career passing touchdown, and why the offense didn’t need to be very creative.
• Trying to explain the rationale for bringing the starters back into the game up 38-7, and why it’s obvious that Dwayne Haskins and Joe Burrow still have much to learn.
• Praising the defense, who looked like they were playing a game of NCAA Football on the ‘junior varsity’ difficulty setting.

The guys also give their thoughts on the legacy of the senior class, why the NFL Draft is going to force the Buckeyes to reload again next season, and give their early impressions on the Michigan game.

Week 13 primer: Per usual, ‘The Game’ highlights season’s final week

It’s rivalry week. And, it’s a beautiful thing. Paul Bunyan’s Axe, the Old Oaken Bucket, the Heroes Trophy and the Land of Lincoln Trophy are all up for grabs. But the biggest game of all--Ohio State at Michigan--needs no trophy. It's simply called "The Game."

Urban Meyer previewed the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry game in his weekly press conference

The coach also reacts to the passing of Buckeye great Terry Glenn.

After a blowout 52-14 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday, attention turned to Saturday’s rivalry game against the Michigan Wolverines. However, this morning, Ohio State fans were stunned by the news that Buckeye legend Terry Glenn had been killed in a car accident.

With the fandom’s focus split between “The Game” and remembering an OSU great, Urban Meyer took to the podium for his weekly press conference to set the stage for the regular season finale against That Team Up North.

While the Buckeyes currently sit at No. 9 in the College Football Playoff rankings with just two weeks to play, there is still a legitimate path to making the final four. The most obvious route would require OSU to win out, and for No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Miami to do the same, eliminating other one and two-loss teams from contention. However, despite the possibility, Meyer was not interested in discussing potential postseason destinations for his team.

Illinois Recap

• Offensive Players of the Game: Michael Jordan, Jamarco Jones
• Offensive Champions: J.T. Barrett, K.J. Hill, Terry McLaurin, Johnnie Dixon, Austin Mack, Parris Campbell, J.K. Dobbins, Mike Weber, Antonio Williams, Billy Price, Isaiah Prince, Demetrius Knox, Marcus Baugh
• Defensive Player of the Game: Chris Worley
• Defensive Champions: Nick Bosa, Jalyn Holmes, Jonathon Cooper, Jerome Baker, Denzel Ward, Kendall Sheffield, Erick Smith, Damon Webb
• Special Teams Player of the Game: Jeff Okudah
• Special Teams Champions: Elijaah Goins, Justin Hilliard, Pete Werner
• Meyer mentioned that he was pleased with the kicking game.
• He added that he thinks that Barrett likes the up-tempo offense, and it is reliant on the play-callers to get the plays out as quickly as possible.

Michigan Preview

• Meyer said that being in the toughest division in college football means that it is nearly impossible to “save things” for the Michigan game.
• He added that it is no longer the big eight and the little two in the Big Ten conference.
• Meyer mentioned that the history of the rivalry game has shown that both teams will play their best on Saturday.
• The coach said that the staff has been doing film study for the Michigan game longer than normal.
• Meyer said that the team’s base zone-read scheme, that you have to have impactful play from the guards. With Jordan and Knox playing well as of late, that has been an important part of this season’s success.
• He said that this rivalry is not just a one-week thing at Ohio State. He added that he learned that from Woody Hayes, Earl Bruce, and Jim Tressel that you have to have this rivalry in your blood to fully appreciate it.
• Meyer said, “Darn near every day you get reminded of this game. There would have to be something wrong with you not to get it.”
• The coach added that the team is “extremely focused.”
• Meyer said that he doesn’t think that the history of the rivalry doesn’t impact his young players, because they can pop in the tape and see how good of a team they have been this year and last year.
• The coach said that there is “ridiculous pressure” in the recruiting battle between OSU and Michigan.
• Meyer said that no matter who ends up playing quarterback for Michigan, they will still be a downhill running team.

Depth Chart

• Meyer said that with time, the Buckeye offensive line has gained maturity, making them one of the most improved position groups on the team this year.
• The running back split is something naturally developed, rather than a pre-season plan.

Miscellaneous

• Meyer gives credit to former offensive coordinator Tom Herman for “finding” J.T. Barrett in their first recruiting class. They had been focusing on Mitch Trubisky and Malik Zaire, but they ended up going elsewhere, so he put a lot of trust in Herman.
• Meyer said that he just heard about Terry Glenn’s death just before the press conference started. He added that he didn’t know the former receiver well, but that his loss is incredibly sad.
• Meyer said that Earl Bruce has been very important to his understanding of the rivalry. He taught him the intensity and respect that the rivalry requires.
• The coach added that when the OSU staff was told that Bruce’s final game would be against Michigan, he didn’t believe it, but that the team found a way to win the game.
• He said that it was very emotional to see Bruce win his final game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will wrap up the regular season by traveling to Ann Arbor, MI to take on the Michigan Wolverines this Saturday. The game will kick off at 12:00 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX. The network’s coverage will begin at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Ohio State legend Terry Glenn has died in a car accident, according to reports
Matt Tamanini via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


The Buckeye WR had a record-setting performance in Columbus in 1995 before having a successful NFL career.

Numerous reports indicate that former NFL star and Ohio State legend Terry Glenn was killed in a car accident early this morning in Irving, Texas. Glenn was 43 years old.


Despite initially joining the Buckeye team as a walk-on, Glenn was eventually honored as an All-Big Ten and All-American wide receiver, winning the Fred Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s best receiver in 1995. Glenn still holds the OSU record for the most receiving yards in a game with 253 from his nine-reception game against Pittsburgh in 1995. His four TD catches in the game is still tied for the most in a single-game by a Buckeye.


In his third and final season in Columbus, Glenn amassed 1,411 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. His 1995 receiving total still ranks as the second most in Buckeye history, behing only David Boston’s 1,435 yards in 1998.

In his NFL career, the receiver played for the Patriots, Packers, and Cowboys, going to the Super Bowl with New England in 1996 and 2001. He was the Sports Illustrated Rookie of the Year in 1996 and made the Pro Bowl in 1999.

In addition to the 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns in his NFL career, Glenn will also be remembered for having caught the first touchdown pass in the professional career of arguably the greatest quarterback in league history, Tom Brady. On Oct. 14, 2001, the former Buckeye WR caught a 21-yard pass from the former Michigan QB in a 29-26 win over the Chargers.

As Buckeye nation was planning to focus on this Saturday’s game against Michigan, as you give thanks later this week, please remember Glenn’s friends, family, and fiancé, as they deal with his loss.

Numerous top prospects invade Ohio State for game against Illinois
Charles Doss via our friends at Land-Grant Holy Land
Visit their fantastic blog and read the full article (and so much more) here


You weren’t the only one who watched the Buckeyes defeat the Fighting Illini on Saturday.

Over 100,000 fans took in J.T. Barrett, Billy Price, Tyquan Lewis, Jalyn Holmes, Tracy Sprinkle, and the rest of the senior Buckeyes take part in their last home game as Ohio State student athletes on Saturday against the Fighting Illini of Illinois.

As Ohio State ran away to a huge victory, fans weren’t the only ones excited to have a chance to watch the longtime Buckeyes play on the Ohio Stadium turf one last time. Playing host to more than the Fighting Illini, Urban Meyer and the Ohio State coaching staff also played host to a solid group of prospects.

While no big time verbal commitments happened over the weekend, the experience did help give the recruits a better feeling on what it would be like to suit up in the Scarlet and Gray.

Below are just some of the prospects that made the trek to Columbus in the rain to see the Buckeyes in game action:

5-star DE Tyreke Smith


Class: 2018

Town: Cleveland, OH/Cleveland Heights

Offers: Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Alabama, Oregon, etc

Breakdown: Unofficially visiting Columbus once again, the Buckeyes would love to add the in-state talent to Larry Johnson’s stout rotation along the defensive line.

4-star DT Tyler Friday


Class: 2018

Town: Ramsey, NJ/Don Bosco Prep

Offers: Ohio State, Michigan, Miami, Penn State, Alabama, etc

Breakdown: Thought by some as a lean to arch-rival Michigan, Ohio State got the opportunity to show Friday what it would be like to play for the Buckeyes. While OSU is looking to add another defensive lineman or two to the 2018 class, Friday might not end up in Columbus when it is all said and done, but the visit definitely gave him a lot to think over before he announces his college commitment.

4-star QB Jarren Williams


Class: 2018

Town: Lawrenceville, GA/Central Gwinnett

Offers: Ohio State, Miami, Auburn, Alabama, Kentucky, etc

Breakdown: With longtime OSU pledge Emory Jones flirting with the Crimson Tide of Alabama, Ohio State has started to show interest in numerous other 2018 signal callers. While the Buckeyes have been in on Williams, a former University of Kentucky commit for quite sometime, they will need to fight off the likes of Miami and Auburn to snag his talents.

4-star OT Michael Tarquin


Class: 2019

Town: Belleview, FL/Belleview

Offers: Ohio State, South Carolina, Miami, Michigan, Clemson, etc

Breakdown: Visiting Ohio State numerous times this season, Tarquin made the trek up from Florida once again. Already holding a verbal commitment from fellow 2019 offensive tackle Doug Nester, some around the recruiting scene believe it’s only a matter of time before the four-star standout follows in Nester’s footsteps and gives the Buckeye coaching staff his word.

3-star OLB Dezman Cooper


Class: 2019

Town: Reynoldsburg, OH/Reynoldsburg

Offers: Miami (OH)

Breakdown: Like others, Cooper is no stranger to the Ohio State campus. One of the top overall junior prospects in Central Ohio, Cooper has yet to pick up a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes, but is definitely on their radar.
