While Ohio State’s 20-point win over Michigan State might have helped its chances of ultimately making the College Football Playoff, the Buckeyes didn’t receive any help from any other teams on Saturday.
No teams in the top 10 of last week’s College Football Playoff rankings lost this past weekend, and as a result, there were no changes in one week’s playoff standings to the next for the first time ever since the playoff began in 2014.
Ohio State remains 10th in the playoff standings this week, and as a result, the Buckeyes now have just three weeks to climb six spots in order to make the field of four.
