College Football Playoff Chairman Rob Mullens Explains Ohio State's Positioning in Final Rankings

Ohio State's inconsistencies put the Buckeyes at No. 6.

Ohio State's playoff hopes fell short earlier today when the committee announced its final rankings. While perhaps many were expecting the Buckeyes to be left out, the biggest surprise perhaps came with the Georgia Bulldogs being ranked one spot ahead of Ohio State.

With yesterday's win over Northwestern, the Buckeyes moved to 12-1 on the season. The Bulldogs put up a solid effort against Alabama but fell short in the SEC title game. Georgia's record currently sits at 11-2, but Kirby Smart still finds his squad at No.
