The Big Ten should have two teams in the College Football Playoff after Michigan's win over Ohio State.

Warren said that one hundred percent was true. Today proved that Michigan and Ohio State are two of the best teams in the country. The game was great. A great football game. They are two of the best football teams in the country.

The result advances Michigan to the Big Ten title game next week and essentially seals a College Football Playoff bid for the Maize and Blue.

It leaves Ohio State with a lot of uncertainty. The College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday, and there will be a lot of interest in where the Buckeyes end up. The rest of the results will determine a lot of their fate.

Even after Michigan defeated Ohio State in the fourth quarter, Warren said the game was a great one. Two of the top four teams in college football are also powerhouses. You watch a lot of games. The rankings must be put to the side. Who are the best football teams in the country? Two of the best teams in the country are here. By a long way.

The College Football Playoff has never had two teams from the same conference selected in the same year. Ohio State went 11-1 in 2016 and didn't make the playoffs.

It's a referendum on how the Big Ten is perceived.

Warren believes that through the entire season. This season is a repeat of last season. The Big Ten football team is strong. I'm looking forward to seeing these next few weeks.

The game was tied at 20 at the half, but Ohio State was undone by a flurry of big plays in the second half. Five of Michigan's six touchdown came on plays of at least 45 yards: passes of 69, 75 and 45 yards and fourth quarter runs of 75 and 85 yards.

If they were given a chance, the Ohio State coach said they would prove they belonged. He argued that the final score wasn't indicative of the whole story.

Day said that they were fighting at the end. It got out of control down the stretch, but I don't think we were outmatched. You have to get to the body of work as we get to those decisions. The team has a lot of good pieces and we came up short. If we could get a chance in the top four, we would be dangerous.

Ohio State's entire season wasn't represented on the field today.

Hopefully, we can make the playoffs again and still make it to the national championship. The one game doesn't define this team.
