To get ready for this historic college football clash, here's your one-stop shop for 2015's edition. Below is the TV schedule, live stream, betting line, preview and a final-score prediction.
TV Channel: ABC
Kickoff: 12 p.m. EST
Where: Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Live Stream: WatchESPN
Betting Line: -1 OSU; 46.5 over/under
The 9-2 Wolverines are looking to upset the 10-1 Buckeyes, and have The Big House crowd behind them.
While Ohio State has been dominant in the series of late, winning 11 of the last 13 matchups, this is a different Michigan team led by head coach Jim Harbaugh. He's set the tone and created a different mentality here in Michigan, and, frankly, he's simply the best coach they've had since Lloyd Carr. That's made a big difference in only one season's time, and they look to be much more competitive than last year's two-touchdown defeat at the hands of Urban Meyer and OSU.
Meanwhile, the Buckeyes are still trying their best to keep their college football playoff hopes alive for an attempt at defending their championship. The only way that can happen is if Michigan State loses tomorrow to Penn State, and then they, of course, defeat Iowa in the Big Ten championship game. In that scenario, it'd be hard to keep them out of the playoffs.
All they can do is focus on winning this one game, though. It likely won't be hard considering their matchup is one of, if not the biggest college football rivalry ever.
All things considered, Harbaugh is looking for a signature win in his first year as Michigan's head coach. They've got a lot of talent on that team, and playing spoiler to OSU's slim playoff chances has to motivate them. Figure in the fact that they're home underdogs, and I like their chances, and we will see them make up for the game they improbably blew against MSU.
Prediction: Michigan 27, Ohio State 24
