Michigan Football: How Buckeyes Loss Could help the Wolverines

As every Michigan football fan can attest to, there is something great about watching the Ohio State Buckeyes lose.

There just is. And seriously, how satisfying was it to watch Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes blow that game to Penn State? One they easily should have won.

Yet, for a few fleeting moments, I kind of wished they hadn’t. For one, their loss immediately hurt the strength of schedule for Michigan football, as well as the chance for the Wolverines to end OSU’s perfect season on their own.

Beyond that, it made it much more difficult for an 11-1 team (with a loss to Ohio State) to have a chance at making the College Football Playoff.
