The Buckeyes and Wolverines face-off Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the winner advancing to the Big Ten championship game.
Washington had been stuck in fifth for the first three weeks of the rankings behind Florida State, but the Huskies added another victory against a ranked team last week when they won at Oregon State.
The long national nightmare is over ... Washington is No. 4 in this week's CFP rankings.

Florida State stayed unbeaten, too, though the Seminoles lost quarterback Jordan Travis to a season-ending left leg injury.
Oregon was sixth, Texas seventh and Alabama eight for the fourth straight week.
Missouri was ninth and Louisville 10th for the second straight week.
There are only two more rankings left. The final comes Dec. 3 when the field for the four-team playoff is set.
