The selection committee has a lot to weigh before the first College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday, and Saturday's results don't make it any easier.
Ohio State has the players, like Marvin Harrison Jr., and the big wins to impress the CFP selection committee.
The College Football Playoff selection committee doesn't officially meet to start deliberating its first of six rankings until Monday, so the only clues to what it might do are found in written protocols and past decisions. Statement wins always have and always will loom large, as will elite talent and Heisman Trophy-caliber athletes, where games are played and how contests unfold. Head-to-head results , common opponents and FCS opponents also are considered. So are injuries to key players, like Georgia All-American tight end.
One of Ohio State's wins was against FCS Youngstown State. And overall, the Buckeyes haven't been as efficient offensively as other contenders, including Michigan, Oregon, Washington and Georgia. The wins against Notre Dame and Penn State were both by single digits, and the game in South Bend, Indiana, came down to the last second.; they were No. 1 in ESPN's strength of record metric and No. 1 in ESPN's FPI.
