Ohio State is basically a lock for the playoff, but would like to avoid a what would be a fifth-straight loss to its nemesis, while Michigan wants to hand the consensus top team in America another black eye, and make a case for its own postseason claim in the process.

The must-watch game will take place Sat. Nov. 29 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. as the Michigan Wolverines (9-2) host the Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0).

Michigan would also need help in the way of Oregon or Indiana losing.

Nick Saban spent two years coaching defensive backs at Ohio State, in 1980-81, but his affinity for his former employer and the fans there only goes so far.
