The winner will have an inside track to the College Football Playoff.
The college football regular season wraps up next weekend, and there is little surprise where ESPN’s College GameDay will be on the final weekend.
ESPN announced GameDay will broadcast live from Ann Arbor ahead of the matchup between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Michigan. This will mark the 10th time that GameDay will be live from the Buckeyes-Wolverines rivalry, including the third consecutive season.
If both Michigan and Ohio State win their respective games this weekend, the matchup will be a battle of undefeated teams. However, regardless of what happens in this week’s action, The Game will decide which team moves on to play in the Big Ten Championship and, in all likelihood, the College Football Playoff.

Although Ohio State dominated the rivalry for much of this century, winning 15 of 16 matchups between 2004 and ’19, Michigan has won the past two games on their way to Big Ten titles. The winner of this rivalry has gone on to win the Big Ten in each of the past five seasons that the game was played.
