Majority of FOX Sports analysts have one from B1G in College Football Playoff
Published:
The Big Ten took an unexpected turn last weekend when Purdue upset then-ranked No. 2 Ohio State 49-20.
That loss of course hurt the Buckeyes, and dropped them in the latest AP Poll all the way to No. 11. Sitting at No. 5, however, is Michigan.
The Wolverines haven’t lost a game since Week 1 against Notre Dame, who currently sits at No. 3 in the polls and is undefeated. That loss to the Fighting Irish doesn’t look too bad now.
On Friday, numerous FOX Sports analysts made their picks for the College Football Playoff and each of them outside of one picked one Big Ten team in particular to make it:

Just about everybody seems to love the Wolverines. What’s interesting is that a week ago, everybody had Ohio State making it to the playoff. Now, one week later, all but one analyst has Michigan not only making the playoff, but defeating Ohio State on Nov. 24 at Ohio Stadium as well.
My, how things can change.
