Ohio State jumps LSU for top spot in College Football Playoff rankings

There’s a new No. 1 in college football.

In the latest rankings for the College Football Playoff released Tuesday night, Ohio State has leapfrogged LSU for the top spot following Saturday’s convincing win over Penn State.

Chase Young, the consensus top prospect in the 2020 NFL draft class, was instrumental in the Buckeyes’ big win, dominating the Nittany Lions all game long.

LSU is two weeks removed from taking down Alabama, but they drop to No. 2 in the latest rankings, followed by Clemson and Georgia.

While the Tigers drop to No. 2, they’re still undefeated, and led by Joe Burrow, the top quarterback prospect in this year’s draft class.

The Crimson Tide come in at No. 5, while Utah grabs the No. 6 spot, taking advantage of an upset loss by Pac-12 rival Oregon last week.
