Ohio State (No. 2) and Miami (No. 6) were both comfortably in the projected playoff field when the committee released its latest version of the rankings on Tuesday, and also controlled their own fate to clinch a spot in their respective conference championship games.

Now both teams will have an unwanted empty schedule next weekend.

A week after securing a convincing 38-15 victory over previously undefeated Indiana, the Buckeyes suffered a 13-10 loss against rival Michigan in a season where the Wolverines finished 7-5 and fell out of the national picture early in the year.

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard connected with Jeremiah Smith on a 10-yard touchdown strike with 30 seconds left in the first half to tie the game at 10-10, but that would be the final points the Buckeyes put on the board. Michigan kicked the game-winning field goal to cap off an 11-play, 53-yard drive in the final minute.

That elevates one-loss Penn State to the No. 2 spot in the Big Ten standings and punches their tickets to face undefeated Oregon for the automatic bid to the playoff field.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes started the season 9-0 before taking their first loss of the year to Georgia Tech in Week 11. After blowing out Wake Forest last weekend, they fell 42-38 on the road against Syracuse on Saturday, with Kyle McCord (380 yards, 3 TD) outplaying Cam Ward (349 yards, 2 TD) through the air.

That loss opened the door for Clemson to sneak into the ACC championship game against SMU, despite the Tigers losing 17-14 in a non-conference game against South Carolina to wrap up their regular season slate.

If SMU wins that game, the ACC will likely be a one-bid league, which should help Ohio State’s chances of hanging onto a spot in the field. Otherwise, the bubble gets extremely crowded if a three-loss Clemson team locks up an automatic bid.
