Ohio State football fans were delighted to see the College Football Playoff committee reward the Buckeyes with the top seed in the playoff bracket and top 25 rankings released on Nov. 4.
Ohio State received the No. 1 ranking in the CFP committee’s first rankings, with three Big Ten teams in the projected playoff bracket. Indiana was ranked No. 2. Oregon is No. 9.
USC, Iowa, Michigan and Washington make up the four other Big Ten teams that made the top 25 rankings.

Here is the first CFP ranking of the year. Here’s what stands out to me:
Ohio State is rightfully still No.1
Texas/Oklahoma are too high
Miami shouldn’t be ranked in top 20 or at all
Am I crazy for still wanting North Texas ranked?? https://t.co/JshoiwNXlE— Christopher Zevallos (@thechrisz) November 5, 2025
I don’t really understand Ohio State ahead of Indiana other than just “I think they’re better.”
Indiana is the only team with two top-20 road wins. The resume is clearly better.
It ultimately doesn’t matter because they’ll play each other, but it’s not consistent.

Mack Rhoades on IU vs. OSU at No. 1: “It was certainly close. But when we looked at film … we just felt like Ohio State had a slight edge when we think about offensive line play, and then a slight edge defensively.” #iufb
