Ohio State remained No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night following the Buckeyes’ 56-14 victory over Indiana.
Two of Ohio State's opponents are ranked. Notre Dame moved up two spots to No. 18. Penn State climbed three spots to No. 11.
Michigan also defeated Penn State, but the Wolverines' soft non-conference schedule factored into the CFP selection committee's decision to rank Ohio State ahead of them."Two well-balanced teams, both in the top 10 offensively and defensively," said North Carolina State athletic director Boo Corrigan, the CFP selection committee chair."Ohio State does have the win over Notre Dame, which as a committee, as we talk about it, stands out a little bit to us.
The ranking of Ohio State and Michigan means little more than bragging rights at this point. The winner of their Nov. 26 showdown will be a lock to make the CFP unless it were to be upset in the Big Ten championship game. Depending on what happened around the country, the Ohio State-Michigan winner might have a chance even if it lost in the Big Ten title game.Georgia was No. 3 in the first rankings released two weeks ago, but its win over then-No.
"We noticed the win over Tennessee, the win over Oregon, the top-10 defense, another win for them this past week at Mississippi State," Corrigan said."In the eyes of the committee, that's a separator for us. When looking at those three teams and how balanced they are offensively and defensively, we have determined that Georgia is ahead of the other two."
