Ohio State at No. 2: Fans, media react to Buckeyes’ CFP ranking

Ohio State comes in at No. 2 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings for the 2022 season.

The Buckeyes, 8-0, are behind only the also-undefeated Tennessee Volunteers. Georgia and Clemson come in at 3 and 4 respectively.

The No. 2 ranking prompted a mixed reaction amongst CFB fans and media members, with some thinking the ranking was too high, while others thought the Buckeyes should be No. 1.

CFP Rankings literally makes no sense but Tennessee did beat Alabama but what has Ohio State done?

Clemson over Michigan is an absolute joke, let alone Ohio State at No. 2, who has basically an identical resume to Michigan. https://t.co/qBqE6ab1er

Ohio State should not be No. 2 https://t.co/dhXBAM9dK7

Georgia shouldn’t be over Ohio State … has Ohio State struggled to beat Kent St, and Missouri… when Ohio St struggles they still win by 20 plus points

Luckily, most of the time these situations work themselves out. For example, Tennessee and Georgia play in Week 10, with the loser in all likelihood dropping out of the top 4. Michigan and Ohio State also end the season against each other, with the loser most likely being left out.

The Buckeyes head to Northwestern in Week 10 to take on the Wildcats.
