The No. 2-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (10-1, 7-1 B1G) will host the Michigan Wolverines (6-5, 4-4 B1G) in Columbus to end their College Football regular season on Saturday. If Ohio State beats Michigan, it will have a chance for revenge against the Oregon Ducks (11-0, 8-0 B1G) in the Big Ten Championship.
As for the Wolverines, they aren't having their way this season under first-year coach Sherrone Moore but have secured bowl eligibility and could spoil Ohio State's hopes for a playoff ticket.
