Gus Johnson called Saturday's Michigan-Ohio State game the first College Football Playoff game of the season — he might have a point.

While technically that was still the regular season, Michigan's 30-24 win may have ended the Buckeyes' season, as Ohio State has dropped out of the top four in the rankings.

The Buckeyes were the second-ranked team in the country, as Michigan was third, but with the Wolverines' victory, Ohio State dropped all the way to sixth.

The top-four is filled with four of the remaining 12-0 teams in the nation. Georgia retained the top spot, Michigan moved up to two, while Washington jumped to No. 3, and Florida State is back in the top four.

Washington defeated Washington State on a walk-off field goal as time expired, and Florida State defeated Florida on the road.

Ohio State is now going to need some help in order to get in, as their next game is to be determined. Georgia, Michigan, Washington and Florida State will all play in their respective conference championships this weekend. 

The Huskies take on No. 5 Oregon (10-1, 8-1), so a win for the Ducks could also slide them into playoff contention.
