Ryan Day says Ohio State still deserves College Football Playoff consideration despite loss.
The final rankings that set the postseason are released on Dec. 4 following a weekend of conference championship games.
The scenario for the Buckeyes, among the nation’s highest-scoring offenses, to break into the playoff is not a far-fetched one.The number of unbeaten teams left for the committee to consider is dwindling. Only three were without a loss by the end of Saturday, a group including Georgia, Michigan and Texas Christian. While the Wolverines beat Ohio State, the Bulldogs topped Georgia Tech, 37-14, and the Horned Frogs handled Iowa State, 62-14.
The most obvious threat to edge them for that final seed would be Southern California, the highest-ranked team from the Pac-12 that has lost only once this season. The Trojans topped intersectional rival Notre Dame, 38-27, to finish the regular season and will appear in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday. They were No. 6 in the selection committee rankings.
Clemson, which began this weekend as one of only two remaining one-loss teams alongside USC within the Football Bowl Subdivision and had been No. 7 in the rankings, lost to in-state rival South Carolina in a 31-30 loss.
