OK. Here. We. Go.
It’s time to finally understand the fate of Ohio State after all of the conference championship games took place this weekend. There’s no doubt the Buckeyes will be in the College Football Playoff field and most likely hosting a first-round game inside Ohio Stadium, but what seed they receive and what opponent will be traveling to frigid Columbus, Ohio, in December remains to be seen.
What we do know is that Ohio State has an opportunity to wash that sour taste from losing to Michigan for the fourth-straight year out of its mouth and go out there with a shot at winning a national championship.
If you landed here, there’s a good chance you are looking for a way to find and watch the final CFP rankings that set this whole thing in motion and tell us all what OSU and other teams have in front of them so we are happy to oblige.

Ohio State football CFP rankings projection
That’s a good question. We went into detail on what we believe the entire field will look like and where we think the Buckeyes will land, but it really depends on a couple of factors. Does the CFP Committee honor the head-to-head win Ohio State had over Penn State? Where does Texas fall after its second loss? We believe OSU will rise up to be the No. 7 seed, but we’ll wait for the tap-dancing the committee does.
How many teams in College Football Playoff 2024?
For the first time, there will be 12 teams participating in the College Football Playoffs. There are five automatic bids for each of the Power Four conference champions and one to the highest-ranked non-Group of Four champion. The remaining seven slots are given to the seven at-large teams.
How does the College Football Playoff format work?
The top four seeds will be on a bye as the CFP kicks off. The next four highest-seeded teams will host on-campus playoff games as follows:
- No. 5 vs No. 12, winner will play No. 4
- No. 6 vs No. 11, winner will play No. 3
- No. 7 vs No. 10, winner will play No. 2
- No. 8 vs No. 9, winner will play No. 1
