Big Ten football fans will have their eyes fixated on The Game, as Michigan and Ohio State go head-to-head for East Division title.
We saw everything in Week 12 of the Big Ten Conference. From two overtime thrillers to a 63-point shutout, it was an eventful Saturday. Despite all this, nothing changed in terms of the Big Ten Championship Game. Northwestern won this past Saturday but had already locked up a spot in the conference title game.
And with Michigan and Ohio State both victorious, their matchup this Saturday is a winner-takes-all scenario, as the winner will take on Northwestern in Indianapolis.
Now, while this game is clearly the game of the week in the Big Ten, there is still a lot in play for other teams in the conference. Maryland, Purdue, Indiana and Minnesota all enter the final week of the regular season searching for their sixth win to become bowl eligible. And Penn State looks to avoid an upset loss to keep their New Year’s Six hopes alive.
It’s two days after Thanksgiving, you still have leftovers and it’s too much hassle to go outside because of all the sales. So, heat up a plate of your grandma’s stuffing and get ready for a great weekend of Big Ten Football.
