Why This Game Matters
This year’s Michigan vs. Ohio State clash? The stakes are sky-high. The Buckeyes are gunning for an undefeated regular season and a shot at the Big Ten Championship game.
Even more, they’re desperate to break a five-game losing streak against Michigan. That’s got to sting.
Ohio State’s Objectives
Ohio State, sitting at No. 1, has had a killer season. If they finish the regular season undefeated, they’re locked in for the Big Ten Championship and will almost certainly make the College Football Playoff.
And let’s be honest—ending their losing skid against Michigan would be a massive confidence boost heading into the postseason.
Michigan’s Goals
Meanwhile, the No. 15 Wolverines want to keep their recent dominance alive. At 8-2, they’re still in the mix for a playoff spot and a Big Ten title run.
Beating Ohio State would give their postseason dreams a serious shot in the arm.
Special Guest Picker: Aidan Hutchinson
There’s a little extra buzz this week, too—Michigan alum and local legend Aidan Hutchinson is joining as the guest picker. Hutchinson, who went second overall to the Detroit Lions in 2022, is basically Michigan royalty at this point.
He was huge during Michigan’s run to the College Football Playoff in his senior year and even landed as a Heisman Trophy runner-up. Not bad, right?
Hutchinson’s Impact
Hutchinson grew up in Plymouth, Michigan, and graduated from Divine Child in Dearborn. His ties to the state and university run deep.
Honestly, having him on set just feels right for a game of this magnitude. Michigan fans are probably already losing their minds.
