The annual showdown between Ohio State and Michigan is appointment television each season. Bragging rights among the Big Ten powerhouses is always enough of a prize, but the winner of this year’s game will clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship game and have the inside track on heading to the College Football Playoff.
There’s a little more on the line on Saturday too, at least for the two head coaches: a hefty contract bonus.
According to Steve Berkowitz of USA TODAY, both Jim Harbaugh and Ryan Day have a lot of money on the line with Saturday’s game.
