With Ohio State already clinching a spot in the Big Ten Championship game and holding the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, its possible for the Buckeyes to win both a Big Ten championship and a national title without beating Michigan this weekend.
That idea doesn't sit quite right with noted Michigan beater Jim Tressel, who won seven Big Ten titles and a national title at Ohio State with a 9-1 record against Michigan.
Tressel acknowledges the titles would be exciting, but it wouldn't feel complete.
If the 2019 Ohio State Buckeyes won a National championship but lost to Michigan is the season tainted?
