The No. 7 Michigan State Spartans (9-1) have the ultimate matchup of the season tomorrow in Columbus against the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes (9-1) in a game set for a noon Eastern Time kickoff. The Buckeyes stand between the Spartans and one of the most magical turnaround Cinderella stories in modern college football history. Then again, given the stature of the foe, perhaps a David versus Goliath reference may be more fitting.
Michigan State has the chance to silence critics and get back on the inside track to the program’s second College Football Playoff appearance with a win on a Saturday.
