Big Ten fans are excited to see Harbaugh’s team take the field for the MSU game, but the real must-see action will be when the Wolverines welcome defending national champion Ohio State to the Big House.

With head coach Urban Meyer’s Buckeyes pegged as title favorites again, this could be one of the most highly anticipated games in the history of the 111-meeting rivalry. We’re pretty confident that Michigan will come out and play inspired football no matter their record, but if they’re still in the top group of East division contenders, this could be an instant classic.

Ohio State has dominated the series in the past decade, winning nine of the last ten games (ten of the last eleven if you count the 2010 game, which was vacated) and narrowing Michigan’s series lead to 58-46-6. Is there a chance Michigan can turn the tide in just one season? However unlikely, Big Ten fans will still be glued to their television sets and on the edge of their seats at the Big House for this one.

Harbaugh vs. Meyer. Ohio State vs. Michigan. 2015 might be the only year where there’s a Big Ten game that can top that.
