3. The Big 10 Championship Will be Decided by Michigan-Ohio State

The Game is at its best when the stakes are the highest. With a number of historic games under the rivalry’s belt, it has recently returned to its former glory, with it oftentimes holding a conference and national championship implications.

While we are still over a month away, it would take a lot for that trend not to continue this year. Ohio State has looked like its typical world-beater self and is really the only top team who hasn’t faced adversity thus far. Replacing Chris Olave and Garrett WIlson with Marvin Harrison Jr and Emeka Egbuka has been seamless, and CJ Stroud is once again a Heisman frontrunner.

Michigan football, on the other hand, has looked every bit as good as last year. Hassan Haskins has departed, and Blake Corum has filled those shoes, and then some. The pass rush lost Aidan Hutchison and David Ojabo, but a slew of new faces have stepped in, and while it hasn’t been fantastic at times, the production has been there.
