Ohio State hasn’t beaten Michigan since 2019, and to end that streak, Ryan Day and his team must defeat the No. 15 Wolverines in Ann Arbor.

The Buckeyes ranked in the College Football Playoff rankings for the fourth consecutive week on Tuesday. The committee bumped Michigan to No. 15 after Georgia Tech and USC lost to Pitt and Oregon.

Ohio State is ranked ahead of Indiana, Texas A&M, Georgia, and Texas Tech in the top five, followed by Oregon, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, BYU and Miami to round out the top 12.

If the committee set the field on Tuesday, Ohio State would face either the Sooners or the Fighting Irish in the quarterfinals.

So our path could be OU, UGA, A&M if all the chalk holds.

Remember all the #guantlet talk if that comes to pass.

Shit! Looks to me like finishing second gets you a better draw than finishing 1.

Other than Georgia (their only loss) and Oklahoma, Old Miss has been racking up wins against the bottom half of the SEC and out of conference stiffs. Not sure they’re as good as the CFP rankings indicate they are.

They needed a late game fumble to beat 2 win Arkansas and took basically the whole game to overcome a bad Kentucky team.

Texas has zero shot at the playoff. They needed Texas Tech, BYU and Miami to lose to even get some consideration.

Even if OU ND and Bama all got upset they still aren't getting in

It’s getting a little clearer who the 12 teams will be.

7 of the top-8 won, and are locked in.

tOSU and Indiana, winner obviously the #1 seed
Oregon and Oklahoma, both done playing
UGA and Texas Tech, both in top-4 now and are in even if they lose their CCG
Ole Miss, whether they play in the CCG or not

aTm lost, but won’t drop out of the top-8 since it’s their only loss

That’s 8 spots, then 2 go to the ACC Champ (UVA/SMU/Duke) and 1 more conference champ (Tulane/James Madison/North Texas)

That’s 10 spots, leaving 2 spots for these teams:

Bama - beat Auburn and they’ll get a spot even if they lose to UGA in the CCG
BYU - beat Texas Tech in the CCG and then the Big-12 gets 2
ND - I think they need either a Bama loss to Auburn or a BYU loss to Texas Tech, along with winning at Stanford
Miami - if they don’t back into their CCG, they need 2 of the 3 teams just above to lose

Just outside looking in:
Vandy and Texas - I don’t think they can even back in at this point
