How Ohio State is ranked that high after losing to an unranked team, and barely derping by other unranked teams from week to week is beyond me.
Because, on paper at least, they have a good resume- they lost to a top 20 team in a flukish way, oh and they road wins over a Top 10 team and a Top 15 team. Frankly, they probably should be higher than Louisville but we all love Lamar Jackson and want to see him in the playoffs.

Same reason teams like LSU are ranked where they are. Potential.
Football, especially at the college level, suffers from sample size error. Just because a team looses focus one or two weeks doesnt mean that any given Saturday they cant beat the top 5. Take anyone from the bottom 5 of the top 25. They arent very likely to beat any of the top 5 in the top 25 in less than 5 tries.
