Ohio State’s only realistic playoff path runs through Indianapolis
Ohio State has never been ranked this low by the College Football Playoff committee.
The Buckeyes fell from No. 12 to No. 20 in Tuesday’s second CFP rankings after losing to Oregon, the lowest ranking Ohio State has ever received since the committee started releasing rankings in 2014. It’s also the Buckeyes’ lowest spot in the AP and Coaches polls since 2014, the week after the home loss to Virginia Tech.
So where does that leave Ohio State’s playoff hopes? I’ll be honest. I don’t think the Buckeyes are making the playoff this year.
Their chances are a long shot, but there is one path, and it’s actually a little more realistic than some people might think.
Why 9-3 probably isn’t enough
