Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard (18)
While Tuesday is exciting because college hoops fans get to take in the Champions Classic, the College Football Playoff results after this past week were released after the first of two basketball games on ESPN.
Ohio State football, as expected, stayed at No. 2. It still won’t have a first-round bye if the season ended today since only conference champions get a bye, and technically, as of now, Oregon is in that spot as it among the handful of undefeated teams remaining.
The Buckeyes were among four top-six Big Ten teams with Indiana coming in at No. 5 and Penn State at No. 4. Here’s a showing the entire 12-team bracket.
The Buckeyes have Indiana and Michigan still on their resume, and they could have another battle with Oregon in the Big Ten title game before the final CFP release is made.
That along with major shaking up of the SEC teams with Tennessee and Georgia battling this weekend could factor into where teams eventually fall in the rankings.
This is a good gauge of where teams are at, but one shouldn’t expect it is the final result as there’s three weeks left in the regular season then conference championship battles to follow.
