What the College Football Playoff rankings say about Ohio State after its loss to Michigan

New York Times

It could be argued that Ohio State’s home loss to Michigan is worse than Tennessee’s road loss to Arkansas, but the Buckeyes’ other loss was by one point at Oregon. Based on Tuesday’s rankings, Ohio State would host Tennessee, and if it wins, it would play Oregon in the quarterfinals at the Rose Bowl.
