College football is a week closer to bowl season and the College Football Playoff, and there is still no movement among the top eight teams in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls.
Alabama, Notre Dame and Clemson all won handily, but Ohio State's situation became more precarious with the cancellation of its game against Illinois.
If the Buckeyes—who have now had two games canceled due to COVID-related issues—miss another game, they will be ineligible for the Big Ten Championship Game and would potentially be excluded from the CFP.
Because of the league's late start, it did not include bye weeks for makeup games, so Ohio State will need to complete—and win—both of its matchups against Michigan and Michigan State to qualify for the championship game.
