The Buckeyes are down five spots in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Ohio State has fallen to No. 7 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings following Saturday's 42-27 loss to Michigan, which is the new No. 2 team in the rankings.

The Buckeyes are the highest-ranked two-loss team in the rankings, checking in ahead of No. 8 Ole Miss. Ohio State is behind No. 6 Notre Dame – which just lost its head coach as Brian Kelly is heading to LSU – and No. 5 Oklahoma State.

Behind the Buckeyes, Baylor is ranked No. 9, but can still improve its College Football Playoff resume with a win over No. 5 Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Championship Game this weekend. Oregon, which beat Ohio State head-to-head in September, is ranked No. 10 ahead of its Pac-12 Championship game matchup with No. 17 Utah.

Here's a look at the full rankings:
