The College Football Playoff Committee tipped its hand by dropping the Ohio State Buckeyes from number one to number two this week. It only wants one Big 10 team in the four team playoff and the winner of the Ohio State Buckeyes vs Michigan Wolverines game is going to get that spot.
A topped ranked team can suffer a loss and fall in the rankings but remain ranked in the top 4. Teams 2-4 don’t have that luxury and the playoff committee knows that.
They know if they put two Big 10 teams in (like last year!) in addition to the Georgia Bulldogs, then they will have to labor over who gets the last remaining spot. And the Florida State Seminoles, Washington Huskies, Oregon Ducks, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Texas Longhorns each have a legitimate claim to that spot.
In other news, one Big 10 team is making a quarterback change we don’t agree with. The Iowa Hawkeyes can clinch a spot in the Big 10 Championship game with a win this week vs the Illinois Fighting Illini and we look at statistics thus far in the Big 10.
