Comment: The College Football Playoff rankings were all wonky this week. The committee dropped the Gophers from No. 8 all the way to No. 18, making them the lowest-ranked of the six ranked Big Ten teams. All because of a blowout loss to then-No. 12 Wisconsin. Seemed a bit extreme. But it looks like the Gophers' favorable schedule finally hurt them.

The junior had a career day in a rivalry win against Michigan, a 56-27 blowout, the eighth consecutive victory in the matchup for the Buckeyes. Dobbins ran for a career-high 211 yards and four touchdowns on 31 carries. He's now the second-leading rusher in Ohio State history with 4,113 yards. He'll go head-to-head with Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor for the conference title Saturday.
