We’re now 12 weeks into the college football season and that means we have an idea of where Ohio State when it comes to the landscape of the 2024 season. The Buckeyes beat Northwestern on the road — in Wrigley Field no less last week and remain right in the thick of things, even after the loss to now No. 1 Oregon a few weeks ago.

The Buckeyes stayed in that spot last week and now, this week when the latest CFP rankings were announced Tuesday.
The format is an interesting one, and since it’s the first year of all the fun, we thought we break down where Ohio State would be in the playoff bracket if it were to end before any further games are played. This is merely a projection and things will change based on results on the field.
So … here we go.
