The Big Ten′s season has led into this weekend. Ohio State and Michigan, both 11-0, play in Columbus with everything at stake. It’s the first time they’ll play with undefeated records since 2006.
Both teams survived scares last week, giving this edition of The Game all-time potential. The Buckeyes have won every game by double digits. Michigan has won 10 of 11 by double digits. A year after the Wolverines finally broke through by outmuscling the Buckeyes in the snow, the encore could be even better. (The conditions will be around 55 degrees and cloudy with a 40% chance of rain in the afternoon.)
“It’s a playoff game; both teams could still be considered with a loss, but a win puts them in prime position,” said Gary Stokan, who’s president of Peach Bowl Inc. and knowledgeable about the playoff selection process. The Peach Bowl will host one of the College Football Playoff semifinal games.
