Ohio State has re-emerged as the No. 1 team in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings, which were released Tuesday night.
The Buckeyes have overtaken LSU, who moved up to the No. 1 spot a few weeks back after beating Alabama.
Ohio State’s win over Penn State gave them a third win over a ranked opponent this season, which is the same number that LSU has.
The selection committee putting Ohio State on top is big for the Buckeyes because they have a tougher schedule than LSU from here on out.
LSU has just Georgia remaining in terms of ranked opponents, while Ohio State has Michigan and Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Penn State remained in the Top 10. Minnesota jumped up two spots to No. 8. Michigan is now up to No. 13.
The Buckeyes already own a victory over No. 12 Wisconsin.
