Going into "The Game," both sides feel confident. Michigan football is 9-2 and playing, most likely, for a berth in the College Football Playoff.
The Big Ten title game is still a possibility for Michigan, if the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes, and Washington upsets Oregon in Seattle.
It's not likely that both things happen. It's also far from impossible.
The biggest, most important task is just Michigan football beating Ohio State. The Buckeyes are a juggernaut. They have five of the best players in the sport -- five players who will all probably be top-10 draft picks one day.
