Boo Corrigan, the chair of the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, fielded questions during a teleconference following the release of the 3rd CFP rankings Tuesday night.
These new rankings show a change at the top, with Georgia usurping Ohio State, followed by Michigan and Florida State.
And while Ohio State is down to 2, some wonder why Michigan did not jump the Buckeyes as well after picking up a massive win over Penn State.
Corrigan was asked to comment on the committee rolling with OSU above Michigan Tuesday night:
“Yeah, again, looking at Ohio State, the wins over Penn State that they now share with Michigan, Ohio State has got the win over Notre Dame, 5-0 against teams with winning records, top 5 defense,” Corrigan said. “Their offense, to your point, put up 38 last week, and Michigan continues to come along and continues to be dominant in the games that they’ve played. As go through it each week, we continue to look at everything, and after week 11 we ended up with Ohio State at 2 and Michigan at 3.”
The Buckeyes offense has surely improved but needs to get better if reaching a CFP is to be attained. They took a step in the right direction with a 38-3 win over Michigan State last Saturday.
It all leads up to The Game, folks. Winner likely gets in while loser will find a path to the 4-team field a tough challenge.
