LSU knocked out of No. 1 spot in playoff seeding by Ohio State

NEW ORLEANS — LSU has been knocked back down to the No. 2 spot in the College Football Playoff seeding by Ohio State. 

The NCAA's College Football Playoff's fourth round of seeding was announced Tuesday night, and LSU was pushed down to No. 2, where they were first slotted last month. The swap with Ohio State, who returns to No. 1, happened after the Buckeyes defeated Penn State on Saturday 28-17. 

The top six seeds changed slightly more, as well. Clemson remained No. 3, Georgia is No. 4, Alabama is No. 5 but Utah is now No. 6 after Oregon (the former No. 6) lost to Arizona State University. 

LSU routed Arkansas Saturday 56-20 in Baton Rouge. They were launched into the No. 1 seed after their huge win against Alabama on Nov. 9. 

On Nov. 9, the Crimson Tide lost 46-41 to the LSU Tigers and dropped two spots.
