Looks like if they win, the Buckeyes are in.
Despite another canceled game against Michigan, Ohio State ranks # 4 in College Football’s Playoff rankings again this week, ahead of # 5 Texas A&M.
This means that with a win against Northwestern in this week’s Big Ten Championship Game, the Buckeyes will likely hit a ticket to the College Football Playoff.
Ohio State is already entering the weekend for the Aggies in the eyes of the College Football Playoff committee, and a victory over No. 14 Northwestern this weekend – along with a subsequent Big Ten title – will be a significant boost to the playoff. resumption from Ohio State compared to Texas A&M as the Aggies play unranked Tennessee and will not compete for a conference title.
The rest of the top four remain the same with Alabama leading the way at number 1, followed by Notre Dame at number 2 and Clemson at number 3.
