With a big win over Indiana, Michigan assured that it would have a big game against Ohio State to finish the 2019 regular season.
But how big will it be?
Entering last week’s contest, the Wolverines were ranked No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings. But with losses by No. 6 Oregon and No. 8 Penn State (to upcoming opponent, No. 2 Ohio State), some of the teams ahead of the maize and blue were destined to fall. On top of that, given the top ten win by OSU, could Michigan be facing the No. 1 team in the country come Saturday?
It turns out, Michigan remained ranked at No. 13, despite the aforementioned losses. However, the Wolverines will be hosting the No. 1 team, as the Buckeyes leaped LSU for the top spot.
