2. Ohio State Buckeyes (9-1)

The Buckeyes are on absolute fire going into the end of the 2016 season. Their only loss this season was to Penn State on the road, but it looks like that may not hurt them. Their biggest test will come in the last week of the year against Michigan.

If they win that game, then they will go into the conference championship and be one win away from the playoffs. However, if they lose, it will be season over for the Buckeyes.

The Michigan and Ohio State matchup may just be the biggest game of the regular season for college football. It will be a matchup of two top five teams, that will 100 percent determine who goes to the conference championship.

Yes, we could also say that about Clemson vs. Louisville, but that was way back in October.

For now, the Buckeyes are in the top four.
