For the first time in 2022, ESPN's writers have an unanimous top-4 to make the College Football Playoff.
Third-ranked Michigan made the biggest statement, turning a three-point halftime deficit against No. 2 Ohio State into a 45-23 rout. Michigan rushed for 242 yards in the second half, largely behind Donovan Edwards' touchdown runs of 75 and 85 yards. Edwards finished with 216 rushing yards, the second-most by a Michigan player against Ohio State all-time (Tim Biakabutuka had 313 yards in 1995). Combined with quarterback J.J. McCarthy's three long touchdown passes, Michigan had five scores of 45-plus yards.
