The Ohio State Buckeyes head to Ann Arbor this Saturday for The Game against arch-rival Michigan.
Ohio State boasts the top offense and defense in the nation, as well as the No. 1 ranking in the latest CFB Playoff poll. But after being left on the outside looking in at 12-1 last year, the Buckeyes want to avoid a loss at all costs.
After being all but counted out in October following losses to Wisconsin and Penn State, Michigan has surged back with four straight wins over Maryland, Notre Dame, Michigan State and Indiana. The Wolverines are basically playing with house money at this point.
Heading into The Game, AP college football analyst Ralph D. Russo has given his prediction.
Russo is projecting a fairly convincing Buckeyes win.
No. 2 Ohio State (minus 9) at No. 10 Michigan
Buckeyes have won seven in a row against the Wolverines and you might have heard Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is 0-4 vs. Ohio State ... OHIO STATE 31-17.
The Game may not have the Big Ten title game play-in stakes that it had last year, but Ohio State and Michigan both have plenty of reason to give this game everything they have.
Ohio State vs. Michigan will be played at 12:00 p.m. EST and will air on FOX.
