When Ohio State plays Michigan in any sport, at any time, it is a must win situation. Just Because it’s TTUN. But this game, at this time, carries a lot of significance..
As I wrote in a previous article, the Buckeyes may be in a good position at this point in the season. Ohio State is tied with Michigan State and Purdue with five losses, one more than Michigan. A win against the Wolverines will bring them back to the pack and give Ohio State a win over a higher ranked team.
While the Buckeyes are undefeated against teams below them in the Big Ten standings, they haven’t defeated a team with a better conference record.
