We got a look at the third release of the College Football Playoff Rankings of the 2023 season, and this time Ohio State tumbled a spot from the top perch down to No. 2 behind the Georgia Bulldogs.
It was thought to be trending that way with almost everyone in the media pointing towards UGA’s win over two top ten type opponents the last two weeks, and that’s exactly what happened.

In other words, they do ask how the sausage was made, and we get to see the ugly guts.
We’re a part of those conversations and like to bring you everything Executive Director Bill Hancock and Committee Chair Boo Corrigan say about Ohio State when questioned.
Here’s how the conversation about the Buckeyes went after Week 11 of the 2023 college football season from the committee.
