Finally, it’s The Game. This time, though, Urban Meyer won’t be around to dominate the Wolverines as he left that task to Ryan Day. This contest will have a bit of a different feel, but everything that’s usually on the line — at least over the past few years — will be up for grabs yet again.

What’ll be on the line? A Big Ten East title and a trip to the College Football Playoff, assuming the winner of this game wins the conference championship in Indianapolis.

Like it has over the past decade, Ohio State will get the better of Michigan and Jim Harbaugh will fall to 0-5 against the Buckeyes with a tough loss at home.

This one will be much closer than last year’s matchup between these two teams as the Wolverines won’t let Ohio State drop 62 points again, but it won’t be enough as Shea Patterson will struggle and the Michigan offense will go back to its vanilla ways.

Ohio State will walk off the field with another Big Ten East title, making Michigan fans wonder “is Harbaugh truly the answer?” yet again.

Final Score: Ohio State 24, Michigan 17 (11-1, 8-1)
