On November 26, No. 2 Ohio State faced their biggest rival, the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines, in a matchup of two undefeated teams, and lost for the second consecutive time by a score of 45–23. However, Buckeyes were ranked No. 4 in the CFP Poll after the then-No. 4 USC Trojans were blown out by the Utah Utes, and were matched up against the defending and eventual repeat national champions, the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2022 Peach Bowl, one of the two College Football Playoff games. The Buckeyes lost the Peach Bowl by a score of 42–41 after Noah Ruggles missed a 50-yard field goal attempt on their final offensive play of the game.^[3]
