The Buckeyes need a lot of help from the early games on Saturday to get into the playoffs. Follow along here.
There are a lot of different scenarios in which Ohio State can still make the 2017 College Football Playoff, and those will play out throughout the day on Saturday as conference championships get underway. The Buckeyes currently sit at No. 8 in the rankings, and the most important piece of their CFP run will be a win over an undefeated No. 4 Wisconsin team on Saturday night for the Big Ten Championship.
Assuming the Buckeyes do get the win, they’ll need some help from some of the other games earlier in the day to push them into the top four.
We’ll be tracking the outcomes of these big games and what the results mean for an on-the-cusp Ohio State team.
As things develop throughout the day, let us know how you think they will impact OSU in the comments below.
No. 3 Oklahoma beat No. 11 TCU for the Big 12 title
Baker Mayfield led the Sooners to a conference championship to cap off a season filled with the QB showing incredible talent and astonishingly little common sense. After creating a forever rivalry with Buckeye Nation by planting the OU flag at the 50-yard line in The ‘Shoe, Mayfield has continued his quest for the Heisman trophy with a win over TCU.
The win actually helps the Buckeyes. If the committee is going to put a two-loss team in the College Football Playoff, Oklahoma would have had the upper hand over the Buckeyes, thanks to their win over Ohio State in September. Luckily, Mayfield and team didn’t get their second loss, and will move into bowl season 12-1.
Of all the things the Buckeyes need to happen to make it into the playoffs, the first piece is now in place.
Next Up:
No. 6 Georgia vs. No. 2 Auburn: 4 p.m. ET kickoff
No. 1 Clemson vs. No. 7 Miami: 8 p.m. ET kickoff
Check back for updates throughout the day to see how some of the championship results could affect the Buckeyes postseason chances.
