5. Ohio State Buckeyes (8-1)

Ohio State just played their best all-around game of the 2016 football season. They had #10 Nebraska coming to town and ran them back out of Columbus. This win gives the Buckeyes their second top ten win of the season and their third top fifteen win.

I wasn’t for Ohio State being ranked over Louisville last week, but after this performance, I can understand why the committee would lean in their favor. However, the Cards cannot control if the other teams win on their schedule.

This was a huge win for the Buckeyes as their only tough game remaining is number two Michigan in the last game of the season. Ohio State still controls their destiny because a win over the Wolverines would put them into the Big Ten Conference Championship game in December.

The Cardinals needed to Buckeyes to lose this one to the Cornhuskers, but we can’t worry about that kind of thing now.

Let’s hope that the Buckeyes come out and fall before the season is over.

Next: Number Four
