It’s all on the line Saturday in Columbus.
The Horseshoe plays host to a contest that couldn’t get much bigger as far as regular-season games go. Both holding undefeated records for the first time in 16 years, Ohio State and Michigan have all their goals waiting on the other side of a rivalry win in the 118th edition of The Game.
Beyond the obvious bragging rights that come with college football’s most tenuous rivalry, a berth in the Big Ten Championship Game is at stake. Given that either team will be a massive betting favorite over its opponent in that contest, a win on Saturday likely means a trip to the College Football Playoff.
