Ohio State jumps into the number 1 spot after defeating Penn State, but the top 4 remain the same with Alabama still waiting in the background. If the top 4 teams hold steady, however, it is unlikely the network ranking will change. Even if Ohio State were to lose to Michigan or Minnesota, or LSU were to lose to Georgia, it probably wouldn’t knock them out of the top 4.
