Ohio State and Michigan State Prepare For Battle With Playoff Implications On The Line

Ohio State's backloaded schedule kicks into high gear tomorrow as the Buckeyes welcome No. 7 Michigan State for a do-or-die matchup with the winning squad staying in the hunt for not only a league title but a College Football Playoff bid.
