Kevin Warren is making a pitch to the College Football Playoff selection committee for Ohio State in the wake of the team's loss to Michigan.
The Big Ten should have two teams in the playoffs according to Warren.
He said that Michigan and Ohio State are two of the best four teams in the country. The game was great. A great football game. They are two of the best football teams in the country.
The winner of The Game should be considered one of the top four teams when the final playoff rankings are released.
Both Ohio State and Michigan were ranked in the top three. The winner would play in the Big Ten Championship Game.
The College Football Playoff committee considers Ohio State's win over Notre Dame a factor now that the Irish are playing better.
Both Ohio State and Michigan are in the top 10 on both sides of the ball. The win over Notre Dame by Ohio State is something that stands out to me as we talk about it.

An 85-yard touchdown was set up by C.J. Stroud's pick six on Ohio State's next drive. The loss ended the regular season for the Ohio State and Michigan.
The other teams in the top four were Georgia and TCU.
The committee could be influenced by Ohio State's win. Notre Dame will play USC on Saturday. The Ohio State victory over them on Sept. 3 looks even better if they win that game.
Ohio State will be watching other games next week. The winner of the LSU and Georgia game will play for the SEC Championship. The winner of the Big 12 championship will play in the title game.
The LSU-Texas A&M game is on Saturday.
USC has to play the conference championship game.
It seems like a long shot that Ohio State will be in the top four when the final rankings are released in December, based on the number of things that need to go right. It is possible that it will happen.
