Ohio State is No. 4.
The Buckeyes are among the four best teams in the country in the eyes of the committee, debuting at No. 4. in the first College Football Playoff Rankings of the season.
Ohio State checks in behind No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Notre Dame, and No. 3 Clemson. The Buckeyes have played the fewest number of games of any of the teams ranked in the top-15.
The Buckeyes are 4-0 on the season with a lone win over a team currently ranked in the College Football Playoff top-25 coming against Indiana this weekend.
