Ohio State Tops College Football Rankings After Week 8, Quarterback Situation Under Scrutiny
The Buckeyes maintain the top spot in The Post's rankings, but questions loom about their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.
Ohio State holds the No. 1 position in The Post's college football rankings following Week 8, despite an ongoing competition at the quarterback position. The Buckeyes are currently navigating the potential season-ending injury of starter Julian Sayin, whose right arm and shoulder injury casts uncertainty over their offensive leadership.
All eyes in Columbus are on the battle between underclassmen Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair to step into the starting role. Sayin's return this year is considered unlikely.
Miami checks in at No. 2 with a perfect 7-0 record. The Hurricanes have an upcoming matchup against North Carolina before facing a more significant test against Notre Dame on November 7.
Georgia, ranked third, is coming off a bye week. The Bulldogs face a challenging stretch with three consecutive ranked opponents: Florida, Ole Miss, and Missouri. Success through this period could position Georgia as a strong contender for the SEC title.
