One thing Michigan can't afford to do against Ohio State

"The Game" is now one day away. Michigan football is seeking a fourth-straight win over the Buckeyes, plus a boost to its playoff resume.

It's hard to say if Michigan will make the College Football Playoff with a win over Ohio State. But we know with a loss, the Wolverines are headed to the Citrus Bowl.

A win would mean an outside shot at the Big Ten title game, plus more bragging rights over Ohio State, which is looking to "restore order."

The Buckeyes are a 9.5-point favorite, although they have been favored in three of the last four seasons, and if Michigan is going to pull an upset, there is one thing the Wolverines have done all season that they can't afford to do against Ohio State.
