Ohio State has the No. 1 odds of any team in the country to crack the 4-team College Football Playoff field at the end of the year. According to ESPN College Football, the Buckeyes have an 81% chance of making an appearance.

Six teams have really separated themselves from the rest of the pack, also including Michigan. The Undefeated Wolverines are likely battling Ohio State for a spot in The Game later in November. Michigan has a 49% chance of cracking the field, according to the same metric.

Here’s how the rest of the top dogs fall:

Penn State has a 4% chance of making the field, but would need a win over Ohio State and a win in the B1G Championship game to accomplish the feat. That, of course, would require 2 Michigan losses.
