College Football Playoff Rankings: Projected Top 10 after Week 13

With one side complaining about poor calls by the referees, the other benefitted from some iffy rulings from the zebras. However, you can’t blame the outcome of a game on officiating when the Wolverines had multiple chances to put Ohio State away and just couldn’t do so.

The Buckeyes were like cockroaches on Saturday afternoon during The Game. As much as Michigan dominated, Ohio State stayed alive and intercepted a couple of passes which led to touchdowns and even forced a fumble at the 1-yard-line, preventing a huge Michigan touchdown in the second half.

Ohio State survived yet another scare and will remain at No. 2 in the playoff rankings this week, without a doubt. Although the Buckeyes aren’t headed to the Big Ten title game, they will likely be in the playoff, along with Alabama, no matter what.

If, for some reason, the playoff committee decides to bump the Buckeyes from that No. 2 spot after championship week, you will hear plenty of chatter from the Midwest about how Ohio State would be a better matchup with Alabama than any other team that would potentially jump them.

Urban Meyer is wishing he had that Penn State game back, though.
