Ohio State-Michigan drama builds as CFP rankings reset fourth place

THE The College Football Playoff committee’s fourth rankings were released Tuesdayy and the committee was responsible for resolving the situation with the State of Florida and season-ending injury for Jordan Travis. Washington moved ahead of the Seminoles into fourth place. But one could argue that the Huskies should be even higher given their resume of quality wins.

The committee could face one of the toughest decisions in the 10 years of the current system if Florida State stumbles in its final two games with Tate Rodemaker at quarterback. Where are the potential one-loss teams and who are best positioned to force their way down the field?

With business on the ground, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan face off in their annual showdown with bragging rights and the playoff implications at stake. There is the specter of Absence of Jim Harbugh and the need for the Buckeyes and Wolverines to prove themselves.

Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports discuss these topics and the rest of the Week 13 schedule in this week’s version of the College Football Fix.
