The college football season is getting to the end of the schedule and that means it's rivalry time and on Saturday the Ohio State Buckeyes will be visiting the Michigan Wolverines at the Big House and the game will be airing on TV on ABC starting up at 12:00 pm noon and the matchup will be streaming online from Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.
The Buckeyes have an unbeaten streak that extends back to last season when Urban Meyer took over the football team and now OSU is ranked third in the nation heading into The Game and this matchup is an important as any for the season for Ohio State. The Buckeyes come into the game undefeated at 11-0 on the season and 7-0 within the Big Ten conference and while they are locked into the title game against Michigan State, a loss against Michigan could cripple any chance the team has at making it to the national championship. Ohio State sits in third place in the standings behind Alabama and Florida State and all three teams are playing tough games on Saturday and while all are favored, they are all also games that could potentially be upsets, with the Crimson Tide playing the Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl and the Seminoles taking on the Florida Gators in the Swamp.

Ohio State and Michigan rivalry games are always fierce and while the Wolverines are not in contention for a top bowl game or the conference title, the fact that it's the Buckeyes on Saturday means more than enough and Brady Hoke's team would love nothing more than to knock off their biggest rivals in their most important game up to this point in the season. The Buckeyes come into the game ranked in the top 10 in the nation in a number of important categories and the team is averaging well over 500 yards total per game this season, ranking sixth in the nation in rushing yards per game with over 310 per contest. Braxton Miller has been playing very well for the Buckeyes this season and the team is averaging over 215 yards per contest and Urban Meyer will try and make sure his team limits any mistakes on Saturday.
Ohio State comes into the game after a big win over the Indiana Hoosiers by over 25 points and the game saw over 140 rushing yards from Miller and now the team faces off against a Michigan team that is looking to rebound after a very disappointing loss on the road against Iowa. The team has lost three of the last four games of the season, including a tough loss to Michigan State in East Lansing and that came after a four overtime loss against Penn State the weekend before. The team won an overtime matchup against Northwestern on the road before losing to the Hawkeyes and the two losses before that were against Nebraska and Michigan State. The Wolverines won five straight games to start the season and now they are looking to end the year on a high note in the conference, as they come into the game 3-4 in the Big Ten and they now could upset the Buckeyes perfect season before the conference title game.
