Ohio State Buckeyes Ranked No. 2 by College Football Playoff Committee in Latest List

The Ohio State Buckeyes are no longer at the top of the College Football Playoff's rankings, sitting behind the Georgia Bulldogs but ahead of the Michigan Wolverines.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have lost their spot as the best team in the country, according to the College Football Playoff (CFP)'s latest rankings.

For the first time since the debut list was released, the Buckeyes are not No. 1, having been slotted at No. 2 by the CFP on Tuesday evening.

The trend of Ohio State receiving the CFP's premiere ranking was broken, but another pattern remains intact. The Associated Press (AP) held firm on Sunday with their placement of the Buckeyes, giving the Scarlet and Gray the third spot on their list for the third week in a row.

3. Michigan Wolverines

4. Florida State Seminoles

5. Washington Huskies

6. Oregon Ducks

7. Texas Longhorns

8. Alabama Crimson Tide

9. Missouri Tigers

10. Louisville Cardinals

11. Oregon State Beavers

12. Penn State Nittany Lions

13. Ole Miss Rebels

14. Oklahoma Sooners

15. LSU Tigers

16. Iowa Hawkeyes

17. Arizona Wildcats

18. Tennessee Volunteers

19. Notre Dame Fighting Irish

20. North Carolina Tar Heels

21. Arizona State Wildcats

22. Utah Utes

23. Oklahoma State Cowboys

24. Tulane Green Wave

The Buckeyes still have their toughest opponent of the season left on their schedule: the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines. This season's running of college sports' greatest rivalry will take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan over Thanksgiving weekend on Saturday, November 25.

Before that game, however, No. 2 Ohio State will play their final contest of the season at Ohio Stadium this Saturday, November 18. The Buckeyes will square off with the Minnesota Golden Gophers at 4 p.m. eastern on Big Ten Network.
