College Football Playoff Rankings: 4 B1G teams in top 25 as Ohio State remains steady

We are rolling toward the finish line for this year’s college football season!

As has been said a number of times, this season has been unlike any other. With some teams limited to conference-only schedules and some teams playing more games than others, there has been a lot of noise to sort through when it comes to ranking teams for the College Football Playoff.

To this point, the CFP Committee has tried to rely on the eye test even more so than usual in this strange season without holding teams to a specific game limit. That has been good news for Ohio State with two games canceled this season, but it will be interesting to see if the Buckeyes have done enough through five games and a crossover game to impress the Committee. As things currently stand, Ohio State will not be eligible for the B1G Championship after Tuesday’s cancellation of The Game.

The other B1G team to keep an eye on in Tuesday’s rankings is Indiana. The Hoosiers continued rolling with a win over Wisconsin on the road, rising to No. 8 on the AP Poll. Indiana was No. 12 last Tuesday on the CFP Rankings.

With that in mind, here is the latest top 25 from the CFP Committee:

• No. 1 – Alabama
• No. 2 – Notre Dame
• No. 3 – Clemson
• No. 4 – Ohio State
• No. 5 – Texas A&M
• No. 6 – Florida
• No. 7 – Iowa State
• No. 8 – Cincinnati
• No. 9 – Georgia
• No. 10 – Miami
• No. 11 – Oklahoma
• No. 12 – Indiana
• No. 13 – Coastal Carolina
• No. 14 – Northwestern
• No. 15 – USC
• No. 16 – Iowa
• No. 17 – North Carolina
• No. 18 – BYU
• No. 19 – Louisiana
• No. 20 – Texas
• No. 21 – Colorado
• No. 22 – Oklahoma State
• No. 23 – NC State
• No. 24 – Tulsa
• No. 25 – Missouri
