The Buckeyes didn’t control their own destiny, but they took care of everything within their control today, storming back to beat Michigan 30-27 in double overtime. With the win, the Buckeyes finish the regular season 11-1, 8-1 in Big Ten play.
Despite that sterling record, and a probable #2 spot in the Playoff rankings which will be released on Tuesday, Ohio State can’t win the Big Ten. Thanks to Penn State beating Michigan State, the Nittany Lions win the tie-breaker in the Big Ten East, winning the division. Penn State will face Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
