Michigan football’s shot at a playoff bid is virtually over.

The Wolverines fell four spots to No. 19 in the penultimate rankings from the College Football Playoff selection committee on Tuesday, three days after losing, 27-9, to No. 1 Ohio State.

A win over the Buckeyes and Michigan would have had a case to make the 12-team field. Sherrone Moore’s team, now 9-3, was ranked 15th last week.

Michigan will not play another game before the final CFP rankings are unveiled on Sunday, making it nearly impossible to reach the playoff this year. The Wolverines fell to 18th this week in the Associated Press Top 25 and US LBM coaches’ polls.

Meanwhile, the Buckeyes held on to the No. 1 spot this week, followed by Indiana at No. 2. Georgia jumped up to No. 3 after Texas A&M lost to Texas.
