Ohio State No. 1, LSU No. 2 in final NCAA Re-Rank 1-130 of the regular season

Ohio State is No. 1 in the final USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank of the regular season, with LSU, Clemson and Oklahoma rounding out a predictable top four.

The Buckeyes landing at the top of the poll reflects their dominant regular season. While Wisconsin wobbled Ohio State for two quarters of Saturday night's Big Ten championship game, the Buckeyes responded by outscoring the Badgers 27-0 in the second half to head into the College Football Playoff at 13-0.

Ohio State, LSU and Clemson give the Bowl Subdivision three unbeaten teams to cap the regular season for the first time in the playoff era. Each has been outstanding: Ohio State and Clemson with incredible balance on both sides of the ball, LSU with a suddenly unstoppable offense that set program and conference records.

Oklahoma joins the top four after beating Baylor 30-23 in overtime to take the Big 12 championship, the second time this season the Sooners have topped the Bears by a single possession.

The Sooners are followed by No. 5 Georgia, which fell one spot after a 37-10 loss to LSU. Baylor moved up one to No. 6 after just missing out on a conference title. Then it's No. 7 Oregon, which bullied Utah to win the Pac-12, with No. 8 Memphis, No. 9 Wisconsin and No. 10 Penn State completing the top 10.
