ANN ARBOR -- Michigan still says it's goal, year in and year out, is to win a Big Ten championship.

On Saturday, Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines found out exactly how far away they are from reaching that destination.

And right now, it's a pretty good hike.

"(We) closed quite a bit of ground (this season)," Harbaugh said. "There's still more ground to close on."

No. 12 Michigan looked overmatched and outmanned Saturday against the Buckeyes, almost wire-to-wire, as Ohio State -- for the 11th time in 12 years -- took the football and shoved it down Michigan's throat against little to no resistance for 60 minutes.
