OSU needs to go 10-2 or better for a CFP invite, which will require avoiding what would be considered huge upsets, and winning at least 1 of 3 against Texas, PSU, and tTUN. Being defending National Champs would have OSU at the top of the 3 loss P4 candidates, but I wouldn’t count on any 3 loss team getting a CFP invite.
