The Ohio State Buckeyes are used to being on the outside looking in into the College Football Playoff--at least until the final rankings come out. In 2014, the Buckeyes were sitting at No. 8 in the week 12 playoff rankings.

And then a week later, a domineering win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship game was enough to allow the Buckeyes to jump two contenders from the Big 12 for a spot in the inaugural playoff.
