COLUMBUS – Ohio State moved up one spot to fifth in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, thanks to a loss by one of the top four teams over the weekend.
Washington has slid into fourth following Texas A&M’s loss to Mississippi State. The committee’s first ranking of the season raised eyebrows because the unbeaten Huskies were behind the Aggies last week.
Alabama, Clemson and Michigan still hold the top three spots.
The Buckeyes still have a Nov. 26 meeting with the Wolverines that could put them in the semifinals.
Louisville moved up a spot to sixth, followed by Wisconsin and Texas A&M.
