COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State is No. 6 and sitting around.
The Buckeyes moved up two spots in the polls from No. 8 after beating Michigan on Saturday and watching two teams ranked above them - Notre Dame and Baylor - lose over the weekend. Ohio State almost assuredly will be in the same No. 6 spot when the only rankings that matter from the College Football Playoff selection committee are released on Tuesday.
That's not quite enough.
The polls are only a meaningless illustration of the help that Ohio State needs in order to get into the top four and make the playoff.
