Ohio State Holds At No. 2 In Latest College Football Playoff Rankings

The Buckeyes now have two wins over ranked teams in No. 14 Penn State and No. 20 Notre Dame.

Although Ohio State looked sluggish in a 21-7 win at rainy and windy Northwestern on Saturday, the Buckeyes remained at No. 2 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings of the season, which were released on Tuesday evening.

The Buckeyes were jumped by Georgia, which knocked off then-top-ranked Tennessee, 27-13, on Saturday. The Volunteers didn't fall completely out of the playoff picture, though, and now come in at No. 5 behind No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 TCU.
