The sky appeared to be falling for Ohio State when the Buckeyes lost to Michigan at the end of the regular season. Ohio State had lost just one game before their home matchup against a Michigan team in transition, but fell 13-10 to the Wolverines, their bitter rivals.
To former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, the loss to Michigan might have been the best thing for the Buckeyes, who are the current favorite to win the College Football Playoff national championship.
