The College Football Playoff Committee will reveal its second poll of the 2016 season Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET.
In what will probably be the second biggest decision made in America tonight, the hot topic entering the second poll is the vital No. 4 spot.
Texas A&M, a surprise darling of the CFP committee's first poll, will likely fall from No. 4 after losing to Dan Mullen and Mississippi State, 35-28, in Starkville, Mississippi last Saturday.
That leaves two likely candidates: Washington (No. 5 last week) and Ohio State (No. 6 last week).
Washington rolled into Berkeley on Saturday not and rolled the California Bears, 66-27. Ohio State deconstructed No. 10 Nebraska in similar fashion in Columbus, 62-3.
The latter win is obviously more impressive than the former, but the committee takes note of teams' entire résumés. As such, BTN laid out a by-the-tape graphic ahead of tonight's unveiling.
If this is the committee weighs the two teams in similar fashion, it could pave the way for the Buckeyes leapfrogging the Huskies into the playoff field.
