The controversy of the first College Football Playoff rankings for the 2021 season is the main topic of College Gameday on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. College football analysts are outraged at the rankings for topics including the exclusion of Cincinnati in the top four, Alabama over some undefeated teams, and Ohio State behind a one-loss Oregon.

While College Gameday analyst Lee Corso has No. 5 Ohio State at his No. 3 spot, fellow Gameday analyst David Pollack had a different response with Ohio State. Pollack argues that Ohio State should be ranked below Cincinnati.

Here’s where my problem is with Ohio State — who have they beaten so far that’s impressed you? Who? A 3-loss Penn State?” Pollack said. “Compared to everyone else, when you look at resume, at this point, it’s not as strong as everyone else.”

Ohio State’s only win over a ranked team is their 33-24 home win last week over No. 20 Penn State, who suffered a 20-18 nine overtime loss at home to Illinois.
