There’s a strong case to be made that Ohio State should be ranked No. 1 when the initial College Football Playoff rankings for the 2023 season are revealed on Tuesday night.
Ohio State is one of just five remaining undefeated teams in the Power 5 through the first two months of the college football season. Among those five teams, Ohio State is the only one with two wins over teams currently ranked in the AP and Coaches polls, having beaten both Penn State and Notre Dame.
Penn State is currently ranked ninth while Notre Dame is ranked 12th in both of those polls.
