Michigan Replaces Ohio State at No. 2 in Latest CFB Playoff Rankings

There’s a newcomer in the College Football Playoff picture as we head into November, and it’s no surprise. Michigan jumped from No. 5 to No. 2, replacing Ohio State — who fell to No. 7 — after their win against the Buckeyes last Saturday in the Big House. Meanwhile, Teams 1, 3 and 4 stayed the same while Oklahoma State leapfrogged Notre Dame to take its place in the on-deck circle. The final CFB Playoff picture will come into focus in just two weeks.
