“The Game” featuring Ohio State and Michigan is one of the most electrifying rivalries in college football each season.
The longtime rivalry is traditionally played in late November to end the regular season, often with significant postseason and College Football Playoff implications on the line. However, Buckeyes football coach Ryan Day told reporters Wednesday that the league should think about moving the game away from the final week of the regular season, stating that the teams could potentially play in “back-to-back weeks” when the league’s division-less format begins in the 2024 season, if both teams qualify for the Big Ten championship.
“We need to consider tradition—but I think it’s worth a conversation when it’s significant to how the season plays out,” Day said Wednesday at the league’s annual media days in Indianapolis, per MLive.com.
