BLOOMINGTON — The College Football Playoff committee kept the lone undefeated teams, No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana football , in the top two slots in the penultimate rankings released on Tuesday night.
It sets up the a first of its kind No. 1 vs. No 2. in the Big Ten title game this weekend in Indianapolis.
The Hoosiers (12-0, 9-0 Big Ten) have been nipping at OSU's heels for five straight weeks in the CFP rankings. The winner of the conference title game will lock up a spot in the Rose Bowl as the Big Ten's highest-ranked team and top seed in the bracket.
"I had the opportunity to be a part of a couple of those at Alabama," IU coach Curt Cignetti said on Sunday. "We played Florida and Tebow and Urban one verse two, two years in a row. It's going be a great atmosphere."
