After Michigan State's loss to Nebraska, is Michigan smelling the roses again?
Michigan took care of business on Saturday with a 49-16 romp over Rutgers, but, with Michigan State's last-minute collapse to Nebraska in Lincoln, not only has the race to represent the Big Ten East in the Big Ten Championship Game been shifted, so has the Big Ten bowl projections. Michigan now has a much clearer path to the Big Ten title: win out and hope Michigan State loses once more. Given that the Spartans should be a double-digit underdog in Columbus when they duel with Ohio State, there are good odds that The Game between the Wolverines and the Buckeyes essentially will be a Big Ten East championship game.
