Clemson remains in position to make playoff; Louisville stumbles in CFP rankings

But after 60 minutes of play, the game finished with a 10-all tie.

Why is Ohio State ranked so far ahead of Penn State, and would it stay that way if Penn State won the Big Ten?

There were no real surprises Tuesday night when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee released its weekly rankings.

“This is college football at its finest and at its peak in my opinion”, former Ohio State linebacker and Fox NFL analyst Chris Spielman.

MI created a ton of buzz at the beginning of this football season when they unleashed their new uniforms and equipment with the Jumpman logo on it, thanks to their new deal with Brand Jordan.

“It’s going to be intense”.

Both teams will be preparing as if the game were an elimination game (because in many ways it is), but what Ohio State is doing is beyond that.

The victor between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 MI will go a long way to determining not only the Big Ten Conference championship but also the final four spots in the College Football Playoff. Oklahoma State would only have a loss at Baylor, and that loss to Central Michigan.

The Buckeyes bring an offense that gives MI fits with a spread, up-tempo look and a running quarterback in JT Barrett that had his way in this game last season.

Asked about the postseason possibilities, Meyer dodged the question in his only media availability of the week. Thanks to a rule change by the Big Ten in 1971, Ohio State could return to the Rose Bowl with a win.

“I hope that our two tackles’ ankles are completely healed”, Meyer responded. Afterward, however, the committee chairman said the Lions have plenty of ground to make up on the Buckeyes.

For the Wolverines, the formula is much simpler. And they loved each other like family, though competition took precedent during the fall.

If you’ve spent any amount of time following the opinions expressed in this space, you know I have a love/hate relationship with college football. “And I’m ready to lead them”. In that instance, Ohio State will be sitting at home during championship weekend knowing that they’ll likely make the playoff. Ohio State could come out on top of the division if Penn State loses.

The first go around between the two last season, the Buckeyes went into the Big House and embarrassed the Wolverines 42-13. Cashman began the season playing mostly on special teams.

No word yet if Meyer is set to enter concussion protocol before Saturday’s game but judging by how very well he remembers winning, he may be suffering severe symptoms. 1 and 2 in the country.

Ohio State’s largest margin of victory in the series is 38-0 in 1935.

The Wolverines have not won at Ohio Stadium since the 2000 season. The last time Harbaugh was involved in a football game in Columbus, he was Michigan’s quarterback in 1986, delivering on a victory he guaranteed.

The teams appear to match up evenly. At practices, he runs plays with both sides of the ball and on special teams.

UW (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) benefitted from then-No. His books, ‘Tales from the Atlanta Braves Dugout: A Collection of the Greatest Braves Stories Ever Told, ‘ and ‘The Heisman Trophy: The Story of an American Icon and Its Winners.’ are now available.

Michigan: DB/LB Jabrill Peppers.

We have a feeling that one will be a popular seller in OH for a while.

This will be the fourth time this ABC crew has called a Buckeye game this year. “I just mentioned to him that not only has Von had a significant role on our team the last two and a half years, but he’ll continue to have a significant role moving forward from a leadership perspective and those types of things”. He is questionable to play, and if he can’t, John O’Korn will fill in.
